Hi all,

I keep looking at the pictures of the white elephant, particularly the inset headlights, and thinking that it would be nice to do the same to a wedge. I don't want to reinvent the wheel so has anyone done it or can anyone tell me why it would not be possible.

The major problems I foresee are:-

1, removal of the false front bumper that houses the side and indicator lights, then repositioning them.

2, Cutting the front panel of the car to gain enough depth so that the headlight beams can be set to the right height - my car has numerous stone chips on the front panel so a partial respray is needed anyway.

3, Suitable covers for the lights - anyone point me in the right direction as to suitable plastics.

Thanks, Phil
