Nearly finished

[p7ulg]

Just got some photos of my long awaited headlamp conversion.Hopefully picking the car up from HHC at the weekend and I will post some better pics

[funinthesun]

I've never really liked these conversions, but i have to say , they are growing on me...

[Morgala]

plug...very nice indeed, your chim's looking very sexy

Now i'm interested the conversion you've got there, the speed 12's i've seen have been molded straight into the body, but it looks like you could replace yours and refit the old ones?

is this true?

edited to say:

i was mistaken, they are molded in - it's just that "lip" confused me!

No they are moulded into the wing.The recess is for a perspex cover to fit in, which is on order.

ah! now i see

[chimhunter]

Tasty. If you don't mind me asking, how much? I know that TVR Bodyshop do it for around £1100 including the respray but not including VAT.

I haven't seen one with the plastic cover

I'd be very interested to see this one in the flesh

[kdd]

are they gas discharge as well as looking cool?

[RCA]

Looks nice, Is the perspex cover a one off?

[Trefor]

Hmm, they look good. The perspex cover does sound interesting. I think the Griffith conversion where they keep the cover looks ace ... I'm looking forward to seeing the finished smarticle.

[madant69]

very pretty!

Believe the cost is around £1000, had it included in the price of the car along with the brake/wheel upgrade.They are only halogen lights as couldn't run to the cost of gas discharge, don't drive it much in the dark anyway!!!.The covers can be seen on the zertec page

Sorry to be the only dissenter but I'm not keen.

It makes the car look like a Fiat.
