Added some Eye Lids to my Headlights ;)
« on: 08 July 2010, 08:12:54 »
So I came across these eye lids on ebay and decided to go ahead and get them. 

As always European parts fit the car like a glove and I am always happy with the fit and finish.


This thing beats the old painted ones that I had...
Parts...


Installation...



Some distant shots.

My apologies for the bad cell phone pictures I will attempt to snap some clean ones asap!

Being a boring old bugger I prefer the car without lids - but irrespective of my sensitivities, that's still one damn fine looking car Cat 8-) 8-) :y

The thing I like about them is the fact that they can be removed at any time unlike paint.

Otherwise they are growing on me, and I gotta get off my lazy bum and get some real outdoors pictures.

It just reminds me of most of the loud bassey Vauxhall Corsas with massive bodykits; a bit tacky.

Ruins the understated lines a bit.

They will go on/off a few more times Untill i decide my mind and then I may get rid of them.

For now I am keeping them as is... unpainted.
