Different shape and lights but they could be made to fit and given the mad price of Fuego lights at the moment...

I brought a renault 18 rear cover this week to compare them , you would need to mount them upside down as per the clusters on the griffiths and this puts the reversing light and reflector in opposite positions.
Also the 18's don't go as far round the corner as the fuego's by about 1/2 inch. but if you had a pair and really needed to replace the lights then they could be made to fit.




p.s. there is one fuego light cover on fleabay now.....

Cheers

What about Renault 25 lights they look more like the Fuego ones and go to a point rather than curved corner...

Cheers, Al.

I had a 25 many years ago (in fact I sold it to buy my first Tasmin) so have plenty of pics lying around... some time back I took some measurements from the pics and compared them to the Fuego units on the Wedge, the R25 ones are a fair bit wider. And the wrong shape. And not as high.
But apart from that they'd fit just fine biggrin

yes seen yours on fleabay but was just wondering if there is a suitable alternative that is more readily available...shame the 25 one is no good as I like the strip that runs through the middle so can be body coloured and there are slightly more about...oh well...

Cheers, Al.

It's also amazing how many other manufactuers used Esprit door handles.
