ClearC.jpg - Make a Mask
Note: the new lens shares only one slot (marked "Common" in the picture) with the old lens. The new lens must have two new slots cut into it. Here's how -
1) make a Mask part 1 : cut a piece of stiff paper into a circle (a close fit is best, oversize - not a perfect fit - it helps keep the mask in place later
2) make a Mask part 2 : press the mask into the "Old" lens and use a pin to trace the shape of the slots.
3) make a Mask part 3 : use a pair of scissors to cut out the shape of the slots in the mask

ClearE.jpg - Put the mask into the new lens. Match up the Common slot and mark the two new slots with a permanent pen.
ClearF.jpg - Two new slots cut into the new lens. The slots were cut using a cheap modelling knife with a very sharp blade - cutting is easy with a blade this shape (see photo). The new lens is made of very soft plastic - total time to do both lenses was 30 minutes including making the mask. It fitted first time!
Other notes
-----------
The new lenses were very expensive (GBP25 per pair).
Although the package says "Custom Crafted ..." the rubber surround is poorly glued to the lens, given how much they cost.
Also given the cost I would not expect to have to modify the lenses given that the reverse of the package says that it is for a GTI-R.
