Fancy headlight covers!

[keithcollins500]

I was filling up my ’98 Chimaera 500 yesterday when a chap pulled in with a ’02 Chimaera with clear headlight covers (a bit like a Griffith).
I think they looked really good, does anyone know whether they fit earlier models and where/how much they cost?
Cheers

The headlamp pod upgrade can be fitted to the earlier cars, it does involve cutting the grp a bit, but can be done without painting.
Sportmotive can supply the pods and fit if required.

I heard on here that cost was in the region of £800

Just had mine done at Powers bodyshop at a vey good price with a front end respray (Can actually see at night now as well) Very pleased and can't wait to get the new Anthracite Pro Race 1.2s on.

[Bobsy]

Cheers.

There have been threads on here about upgrading the original piss poor headlights with zenon units out of a VW Lupo.

With the Lupo units fitted, would it still be possable to retrofit the later style headlight bubble covers?

EXACTLY what sprang to mind with me! Then I saw your post... and realised there's no point in, er, posting again, er...

i didn't see anything about the lupo lights....

Yup, just had the "Lupo" light conversion done at Carizma. Have to say I was pleased when my wife looked and asked what they had done - the upgrade brings the front up to date, solves the Elton syndrome, but doesn't bugger up the classic lines. Will be at the Roar on Sunday if anyone wants a gander.

Elton syndrome = ...?

There was a post involving Suzuki Cappuccinos on another thread...

Sorry i'll rephrase,I didn't see anything about whether the Lupo Lights will fit under the later perpex light covers...

I'm taking a pair Lupo's and a pair of MK3 pods to the ROAR this weekend, personally I don't think they will fit, but when I get chance I'll take a look and let you all know.Cheers Fibreon

I have fitted Fibreon's kit and am very pleased with the result - I'll be at ROAR with it on Saturday. Not a bad winter DIY job if you are handy with a Dremel and confident using sealant.

Is there any issue with heat from xenon Lupo lights if covered up with the plastic cowl?
