Whether its speed six, lupo or faired in , they are better than the original candle sticks.

I think the originals look the best... mk3 faired in looks good too smile With the tuscan lights the Chim loses its "face" me thinks

Noooooooooooooo! Looks like a bug eyed weirdo, the nose isn't long enough on the chim or the overall cars styling doesn't suit it.
I haven't read any replys yet, I took a look at the title and the thought of another chim chopped up saddened me!

Totally totally nope.

The Chimaera just looks best unmolested & original.

(But as said, personal taste..)

I didn't commission my conversion and as I understand it was done at the same time as the near side was repaired following an 'incident' by the PO. I prefer the look, although sometimes I think that the 'Type R' conversion is a little fussy and would benefit from loosing the sidelight recesss.

If the light output from these lamps is better than the standard MG getmecoat headlights than it must be a terrifying experience as these are utterly crap.

I really dislike the faired in headlights, they just look odd to me paperbag
