just a quick question so dont shoot me down in flames!!

is there an angel eye upgrade for the headlights?
i think that would look really rather smart!

also...

after admiring a nice elise in the owners cars section, i noticed it had smoked headlight covers.
is there anything like that available?

i think both would be a seriously cool and very mean looking upgrade.

thoughts please

I installed a HID upgrade, best MOD money can buy. You can now actually see were you are going in the dark. The standard lights are a joke. Got mine from fleebay, cheap, excellent mod.

Sounds like clarkmagpie wants them dimmer not brighter by looking for smoked covers ....

You need H1 for both the pods and the full beam lamps.

Cool? Here are the flames, Clarkie, old thing! If you are doing something to look cool, then by definition, it won't be cool. Trying to look cool is just trying too hard.

Griffs are not cool, not trying to be cool, and unfortunately (in my eyes) all attempts to make them so just lower them and their owners to the level of the MaxPower brigade.

Engine mods, handling mods and things which improve the driving experience are fine. What you are doing is the equivalent of adding a Halfords wing.

But each to their own...

And I expect a flaming myself for these comments!!!
