Dude thats looking good! Front end looks great.
Please please dont sink anything in to the bumper tho!
Use a side light style holder and cut it in to the headlight casing in the bottom of the lights, so they light the headlight up. Looks so much neater and nicer.
you'll just have to trust me on this one for ease of mot purposes etc, but the indicators just settle the front abit more and look great ;)
Wha? Pics..
The indicators are truely random, we found them on top of a car at the scrappers. Someone must have removed them and then decided not to take them or forgot to pick them up. They are near as dammit the same width as the headlights and slightly higher than a MK2 golf variant (that Jack used). We've done a test fit with just the lenses and they just look right for some reason. Running the indicators in the sidelights did cross my mind, but you run into all sorts of issues, namely you end up with no sidelights, and secondly the indicators need to be visible even whilst on main beam, so integral indicators only work with projector lights. Nova lights would wash the orange out completely.
Also to add to Dans jammienes, he's running Chris T's old system (which was on a MK2) so I assumed the tailpipe was going to stick out at the wrong angle for a GTE rear bumper. Turns out it pokes through the hole perfectly. I dont know where he gets his luck from!
Should be running Tuesday, we would have got it running yesterday but we had to go shopping for a new loom and then chop out all the useless stuff.
i dont call it jamminess i prefer to call it perfect execution of plans lol lol
Hats off to you Dan - that looks sweet as!
Loving the home made shell dolly!
No, you dont fit them insted of side lights! You fit them in the same way ie: same holder, but on the other side.
So you still have all the normal lights, and the indi flashes from the bottom corner.
looking good lads.
Kicking myself really
However, more time and space than i had til about now as it happens.
Glad it went to a good home.
Really cant wait to see it finished.
Bagsy a ride pal! :)
It would still be iffy for MOT IMOQuote:
