Rear Light

[Mr WST]

Some little S.T decided to crack my rear driver side light. Time i turned round to twist him up, he had gone!
Been looking for Fuego Lights, they are really hard to find.
Anyone got any idea on alternative?

Thanks

Horrible little sts...They really are like rocking horse doo doo..Phil..(Transmitterman) used upside down BMW M3 lights i believe although im not sure if any fabrication was needed to the bodywork...

[Mr WST]

Now you mentioned that i do recall seeing photo of them on here....
We need some alternative option, i spent hours searching the net and scrap yards, found nothing!
Some parts are now becoming hard to find..............

This guy is still advertising the bumper from what looks like limited edition No 1!!...someone might of grabbed the rear lights but might be worth a go...i will email phil to see if he can pop up a pic again...Ziga

[Mr WST]

Do you know what year the M3 lights were from?

Thanks

[Mr WST]

Just emailed him on Ebay re them lights. I think they have gone tho

[mrzigazaga]

No sorry..I had a quick look through some but couldnt see them, I have emailed phil so hopefully he will pop it up again..If i get time i will scan the posts...ziga

I have found one link to a previous thread but not the one with phils in...

Will send him an email, see if he knows the year etc / details on the BMW lights
Thanks Ziga

Adam, my French is a little rusty. Though i have mailed them to see if they will post to the UK. Cheap price!
Thanks again

Hi
There bmw e36 rear lights mate, the M3 ones have white indicator's and looking at them I would say either coupe or vert lights would be a better fit, I may have a pair if you need some???

Cheers

Hi WST

Dont know if this helps, but here's some picture's and by the looks of it there pretty close when put up side down, only the curved edge on the bottom would need body work mod, length appears to be good and side appear to be a good match also, if you need measurement just give me a shout, cheers, Ralph




If you look to the bottom right you can just see the curve which would need a little filler or glass work

[Mr WST]

There not far off at all. Henry got back to me but has no info on what kind of modification is needed. Though i must say they look close, and a better style!

Will private email you once i have some more info

Thanks again Ralph

Wouldn't it make more sense to chop the beamer one around and perhaps add a filler piece so it fits the existing rectangular hole?

Adam,
It's a great idea, however;
I've carried out a little acrylic fabrication over the years (in a previous life!).
Trying to fabricate in acrylic to match the light would be rather more difficult than filling in the bodywork.
Unfortunately you couldn't avoid winding up with a joint being visible between the different acrylic sections.
If done correctly it would contemporise the whole rear end and wouldn't look too bad either.
Assuming of course that you want German parts on your English car
