Fancy Headlights

Post by Oli192 »

I was just having a browse on the forum, I saw a picture of Se7ensport's car and I like the headlights a lot more than mine.
What are they from and will they fit my 2001 Stylus?

You can tell it is spring as I am looking for way to spend more on the kit car again. :)

Hope he doesn't mind me stealing the pic for reference.

I seem to recall him saying they were VW LUPO :?: but he'll be along to confirm soon :wink:

Robs on the money, they are indeed VW Lupo, having had kits in the past with Mini headlights that have the same output as two tea-lights something more modern was needed!

There is a bit of work to make them fit, but nothing more than a reprofile of the bodywork and a couple of mounting "L" brakets on the inside:

Looks like a really good job on those headlights but I don't think I can do the same without a front end respray. I will have a look at crystal lights, better bulbs and see if I can get mini surrounds to tidy up the edges.

Really I should be looking at less tired suspension that can handle the extra weight rather than shiny bits.
