Daz, we can always rely on an ....................................alternative reply.

Those lights look stunning. Another great job by Ian and team.
Mine is booked in with the guys later this year for a re-spray and light mods, so looking forward to handing the Chim over
Was hoping to go with the Mk3 lights too, but mine has been converted to the Tuscan variant with four lights per side, and returning the car to the stock headlight positions is too high a cost as the wings need to be rebuilt too

[SonicHedgeHog]

Bit of a thread resurrection here.....does anyone have a rough cost estimate for reversing a Tuscan headlight conversion?

[QBee]

Please explain why, as I am hovering between faired in and Tuscan.
Love both, love the modern look of the Tuscan style, but think the faired in suits the car in a different way.

[SonicHedgeHog]

Because I prefer the mk3 look and a cars with the Tuscan conversion seem to be a lot cheaper/more difficult to shift than those without. My thought was buy a cheaper converted car that probably needs a front end respect anyway and then return it to original before respraying.

In truth I'm probably just window shopping and day dreaming, but it would be nice to know what the cost would be.

[QBee]

Thanks for replying. I agree with you that Mk3 lights suit the car best of all, and are original factory fit on some cars, so are liked by the "keep it original" crowd. I was just wondering if you found the light output of the Tuscan lights inadequate?

[SonicHedgeHog]

I know light output is an issue on the Griff and Chim. I never really drove my old Griff in the dark so didn't have a problem with the standard set up. I reckon some new reflectors, clean plastic covers and quality bulbs will be sufficient for me. But, like I said, it's probably window shopping as I want to be part time in a year's time and will probably be keen to watch the pennies.

You could combine the fairing and dual 70mm lamp units. I really like that look. Satin black behind the lense though, not colour coded.

I APOLOGISE FOR USING YOUR PHOTO OFF GOOGLE

The Lupo reflector faired in gives you a sealed lense unit from dirt and moisture getting in, plus you get a better reflector with the Lupo, plus you have the faired in look!!!!

The only part l would change is instead of the black light surrounds l would have it sprayed body colour, but that's just my personal preference.
