Thumbs up For those not brave enough to refurb their Own headlamps

I have spent ages looking for someone who would do this for me locally.
Phoned up lots of so called car refurbers they either didn't know what I was after or were too scared to do it.
However I have just had mine done by DP Crash Repairs Ltd, in Milton Keynes.
I would say it's £75 well spent.
Never knew how good they could look.
If you are interested email Mark@dfcrash.co.uk

I had all the UV damage removed and then they replaced the uv coating.
Whilst it was there I also had all four alloys refurbed due to previous owner not having any spacial awareness whatsoever, they were a right mess but I used it as a bargaining tool when I bought it. Also had other scuffs and scrapes attended to.
Whilst it was in for the alloys discovered that previous owner had let someone crossthread 3 bolts in one of the rear hubs, so also ended up with new hub and bearing, had to wait for Fiat to order hub from Italy only to discover that it came in a mercedes box.

Oh well XF now looks a whole lot better and now the mods can begin in earnest.
Installed in dash dvd player now just need to work out where to conceal camera, want it to be stealth any suggestions on location welcome and keep them clean guys.

A kit cost about 30 USD in the states, just a bit of DIY, I did mine and they look immaculate. Nice to hear that you are satisfied!
