IIRC the Morette front panel doesn't have the dip in the middle to suit the mk1 facelift bumper, so theoretically could be fitted to a Mk2 if you used Mk1 wings.

The thing that annoys me about that quad lamp kit is that it doesnt line up with the Novas bonnet, the first one doesnt sit right at all and the Irmischer one looks Clumbsy.

Why not try and make your own one? I remember seeing a Mk2 Escort a few years back with Motor Bike Quad Lamps on either side with no Grill. I know on the Mk2 Nova the Grill Lines up with the Wings, but I'm sure with a little creativity you could make something pretty good looking.....

Irmscher one doesn't look clumsy IMO - I prefer it to the Morette one as it deletes the indicators

I dont like the way the Headlights have the cowling slightly rounded as well, and they way it sits fluch with the bumper recess, it just doesnt look right, but then again, I suppose theres no other option really.

Cut holes in your front bumper.

Well if its secure and all the lights work, theres no reason it shouldnt.

Most people just use golf/polo indicators bolted to the front bumper.

I suppose if you wanted to be really smart, you could mad an indicator bulb in the head light. It'd need to be orange and pretty bright to work effectively though.

alright then sorted. thanks for the help.
one more thing... what you think of quad conversion lightswith badboy bonnet,does it work?
any pics?

Dod

I'd say it might be ok, if you keep the lights black as Jack has. Post up some decent pics of your motor and ask some one to do a photoshop of it in the styling forum.

ive asked for hundreds of photoshops, never get any replies lol
the main worry was will the extension come too far over the first light?

Yes. lol

Not sure on the legality of the indicator-in-headlamp mod either... was going to do that on mine but the MOT doesn't say either way iirc
