Done this to mine, makes it look so much better.

How do you split them? Heat gun? Or oven?

What guarantee do you give against them not steaming up as many do, my little polish monkey.

Well so far santa iv had no one complain about steaming up, but i would do my best to rectifie any problems:whistling:

Thats ok then , but as you must know many do get condensation inside.
I would like to loose the orange in mine but the risk puts me off.
