First of all, the result of the process.

As we needed a rear light quickly, we decided to restore a damaged one. So it started as it is shown below.

After welding.

Our made racing rear light lenses perfectly fit in street version. By the way, lenses are made from the same material as OEM ones.

Ready for the paint.

After the paint, bonding is left.

From the looks it is hardly noticeable, which one was restored. :)

Yes, we could make some racing rear light lenses. The price would be £80 a pair with the roughly cut edges (requires smoothing out) and unpainted.
