light conversion

[cerberarno]

HI
I Need your clarification I'm not so bright ...

I'd like to swap my tail light with those ebay MK3 Fiesta but would they fit ?
Saw that Cerb's are normally MK2 ?...

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/FORD-FIESTA-MK3-89-95-BLACK-...

Not an ultimate design but my outside tail light cover are already tinted so it would not be too obvious

For the front light I would go for a Lupo set in black

I was pretty excited by the Markh1 result with chimaera cover so maybe I would put it on top
But do they fit easily ?

Thanks for help

I dont think the later Fiesta lights will fit. Why ruin your car with such horrible lights? You car, your choice but as ever my comment is leave it well alone.

I know.. I don't want to do ugly tunning but stock fiesta unit are not so nice..
I would go in the post 2000 conversion's direction for a cheap price & ccould return to hearth if not pleased

I've check MK2 fiesta & it's not that at all so it seems to be mk3 ?

For the front I'm not into tuscan's style & early one 's not much exciting neither

my yellow head light need a swap for sure & I don't want body work / repaint.

Actually they will fit as the Cerbs are Mk3 Fiesta lights.

Markh1 didnt use Chimarea covers but tamoras I think?

[cerberarno]

Is something like this chimaera conversion possible ?

They are Tamora headlamp units with the latest chimera headlamp covers that were found on the last chimeras.

To fit them was not an easy job - involved cutting of the wings and obviously respraying.

Maybe give these guys a call http://www.carizma.co.uk/offers.html as for the rear lights maybe take a look at these http://www.quadconversions.com/tvr_chimaera_and_ce... I think they look better than the fiesta lights, let's face it does the arse end of a fiesta look good?

[cerberarno]

The quad conversion are better looking but not way different ... beside the price 350 of my € !!

carizma use Lupo headlight.

[cerberarno]

Are those cover fron chimera ?

I agree - you've got a Cerb not a friggin Nova

For the Headlights a good HID kit will transform the lighting, and retain the classic look.

thanks to the forum , There are discussions about light conversion...
Some like tuscan's , some early type , but in fact people are modifying there car as they want
But always on the tuscan's way & never going back to roots...
Looks like there's no many solution
I don't really apreciate tuscan's , too star wars for me & I won't defntly work , that much, in this way
I am more into classic look , I had an E type before the cerb !
And that's where early type headlight bugs me a bit , it's like E type SII compares to S1
It protrudes too much , I would see it more following the curve of the bonnet
I wouldn't try to distort the original timeless shape of the Cerb's front , It pretty looks like an e type !!
But at the moment those black lupo's under , or not,a chim cover may be my "classic" solutions

[Gazzab]

Not sure I get your drift regarding classic looks. To retain the classic looks you wouldnt want blacked out front lights and the cheap teenagers bolt on rear lights. But its your car so do what you want.
If you want more effective front lights then add xenons. If you want that modded look for the Saturday night hanging out at MacDonalds then go for it.
