Mark 3 Headlamp conversion

[Podie]

Must admit I think the Mk3 covers are how the Chim should have looked from the factory.

Anyone seen it done on a Cerb?

I was talking with a Cerb owner who has done a little research on it and the recess is a different size which means the Griff or Chimaera lense wouldn't fit.
That would mean doing a lot of research to see if any other car makers have the correct size,or making your own (Not cheap)

So is the Chimaera cover the same as something else?

The last Chimaera's off the line were fitted with this Mk3 light conversion so they are readily available as a stock item.

Oh go on then, here's mine...









My Mk3 headlight conversion was completed two years ago by Surface & Design at Bristol Avenue, exactly where 'Ol Gasbag' was born way back in 1996.

Do you have the standard Golf lights with led bulbs or proper head lights designed for leds?

Just had a look at Sprayshacks F/B pages I was considering using them to do my car but the finish of the sealant looks crap,can anyone confirm that they do a 100% job?

[PYNEY]

Hi Butch

I had mine done at spray shack and very pleased with the results the black seal was done as best it could be I think
and I am fussy , you will find photos of my car in your post , and on spray shacks Facebook /twitter
if you want anymore assistance let me know , they are very helpful at sprayshack ,

[PYNEY]

Hi Butch

Just seen your 1st post , i'm sure central would be closer to you ? from what I hear
they do a good job ? I went to sprayshack because they were local and as I said above did do a great job

Its 6 and 2 3's as far as distance goes,easier run for me to braintree though,will have a look at your pictures to see if they show the sealer better than FB.
