anyone done it? Seen the kits for around ?50 and seems to look the bollocks but is it hard? and is the inner lamp removed or covered by the grille?
-
I see you have decided to by the other cab!
It would of been nice of you to send me mail to let me know what yiu were up to !!
Then i can decide what to do with my cab!!
-
no havent decided, going to see it saturday and i will let you know the outcome.
but i HAVE decided to buy a cab and so the threads are still relevant...
-
Just simply change the grilles over from twin to a single lamp. The inner lamps are on the grille, unless there was a major change made from a standard Mk1??
-
^ tis correct.
Will u be at inters this wknd? U can see it done on my mk1. She looks mean at night!! Looking for some clear lights this wknd instead of yellow ones (think my car smokes he he!!)
-
I'm still undecided on twin lamps vs single on a Mk1. May need a poll???
I've just switched mine back to twins n standard grille from single + mk2 style grille mmmmmm not sure
-
I like the single with the chrome badge in the middle - looks quite nice. May change it to that but not till everything else has been done. I want mine to look a bit beefier
-
I think if i can get hold of those clear cross hair lamp thingys for both the inner and outer, that would look cool. Original, yet updated. Yep, thats what I'll buy this weekend
-
I think the single lamp looks more classic, where as the twin looks a little more aggressive. It depends on what you want the style of your car to look like.
I have just ordered some crystal clear angel eyes to replace my standard crystal clear outer, and already have inner crystal fitted.
-
Do those crystals offer better brightness ?? or is a loom upgrade required for that as well??
-
A decent set of bulbs in some crystals seemed to improve the illumination by a noticeable degree on mine.
-
Cheers, I'll try it out. Don't suppose you know who's cheapest for the crystals do you??
-
Volksbits are pretty good at the moment, and had some deals on them recently
-
Cheers, I'll go have a look
-
fordy ill take the single headlight grille off your hands for a few quid if you decide to let it go...
any pics of the converstion... before and after etc..?
-
I've a number of spare grilles actually and never really thought bout selling them as they are fairly cheap to get hold of at the shows. Don't have any pics, but I've got a campaign, not a cab, so the whole look of the car is different to yours, me having a roof and you not n all that!!
-
Have u got the one with the chrome vw bit in middle??
-
I know I've got a badgeless and a badged grille. Think the Badged is a twin and the badgeless a single
Have to have a look on Friday
-
