Faired in headlights griff style, possible on chim?

[Filos Hippos]

Hi guys,

As these already look great on a griff I assume they would look awesome on my 2003 chimaera.

Would such a set exist for easy fitting on late style chim with the faired in headlights without to many changes to the bodywork?

I'dd like to keep the plexi covers and just change the original, dated, non working lights by these.

And more importantly, where to get it?


Thanks,

Filip




And since I am now able to post pics, here's mine:

You can get these from Fibron and I think they fit Chims but not sure if you can get covered ones.
Maybe give them a call?

www.sportmotive.com do a t350 conversion which is about the best I've seen.

Just out of interest, on your second pic, who's driving the car? Neither of you seem to be...

I prefer keeping the original silhouette with the standard (latest model)plexi covers and just change what's underneath.

I've seen this conversion on a few griffiths but never on a chim.

As the model of the plexi-covers is not the same on both cars I don't think the griff-items will fit properly.

Therefore just wondering if anyone knows where to get the same conversion for a chimaera. Or where I can have it made...

Thanks for your replies though!

This is exactly what I mean but then instead of using the T350 covers just keeping the original ones.

I will get in touch with these guys and ask wheter that is possible. (sizewise)

... I do like those lights but on that picture and others i've seen they look a bit odd at the bottom, a sort of wot shall we do with the stright bit at the bottom! Maybe that doesn't show in real life.

I've had the Sportmotive T350 light conversion. This is the angle that sold it to me . I love the proportions & how it tidies up the front. Ian did a great job.

looks nice indeed! I especially like the more modern look and set-up of the lights themself.

Not so keen on the triangular shape at the bottom though, in my opinion it would look great under the shape of the plexi covers of the latest chimaeras.

Ofcours there's no right or wrong, just preference . . .

Just a thought, I could be wrong but stay with me on this one. I pretty sure I'm right that the final chimaera's (faired in lights) use the same pods as a Tamora,so if you look on this web site (http://www.silverstoneperformance.co.uk/) you will see a Black Tamora with double lights under the plexi covers, so maybe this could be you solution.

That would be a perfect solution indeed.

Thanks for your hint.

Can anyone confirm that the pods are the same, . . .

Chim with the headlights conversion is not good.

It makes Chim more like Toyota MR-S.
