raddys Posted April 25, 2018 Share Posted April 25, 2018 Hi guys, I'm in abit of a pickle and thought I'd ask your opinions. I'm currently in the process of completely going over the car with a fine tooth comb to get it mint as possible.. It's a 93 TT gz and so far I've gutted the whole interior for deep cleaning, had the dash panels repainted, re powder coated wheels and calipers with new decals, new tyres, discs, pads and the car is now in the paint shop having some paint (stone chips) and a full detail and mop.. the car should be absolutely mint but my problem is I have bought facelift headlights.. now I want the car to be original as possible and the pre facelift lights that are in atm are near perfect anyway.. not sure if I'm being silly but I kinda think facelift headlights in a pre facelift look odd if the rest of the car is totally how it come from factory. So my question being.. do I put the new facelifts in or keep it oem? What do you guys think? Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scooter Posted April 25, 2018 Share Posted April 25, 2018 Sell facelifts and get glass ones? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raddys Posted April 25, 2018 Author Share Posted April 25, 2018 Sell facelifts and get glass ones? I did think about it, but not a fan of the glass headlight shape, I think it bulges more then the plastic lens equivalents Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike33 Posted April 25, 2018 Share Posted April 25, 2018 Matey I have a gz and changed to facelift lights and it looks so much better! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rider Posted April 25, 2018 Share Posted April 25, 2018 If you buy facelift and keep the originals then you have all bases covered and you'll always be able to sell the spare set if you ever sell the car, probably at a profit to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scooter Posted April 25, 2018 Share Posted April 25, 2018 Have you got the facelift side lights/indicators too? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They do look so much better but I'm just thinking of originality - - - Updated - - - If you buy facelift and keep the originals then you have all bases covered and you'll always be able to sell the spare set if you ever sell the car, probably at a profit to. True - - - Updated - - - Have you got the facelift side lights/indicators too? No not yet just new facelifts, why do you have some for sale?

Pete Posted April 25, 2018 Share Posted April 25, 2018 Tricky one. If you're going facelift then you'll need to change the sidelights too of course which means hacking into or buying the correct wiring loom for the sidelights. I reckon for the worth of the facelifts I'd stick with the original ones personally. Original is best nowadays IMHO. Mind you, no harm in keeping yours in the shed and being able to transfer back come sale time. It keeps them out of the UV and stone chips too!

Scooter Posted April 26, 2018 Share Posted April 26, 2018 No not yet just new facelifts, why do you have some for sale? No sorry I was just alluding to Pete's point about the sidelights and how unlike the UK glass ones it's not such a straightforward swap in/out of the lights.

Mk4Gaz Posted April 26, 2018 Share Posted April 26, 2018 I had facelifts, then changed to UK glass, but I've recently gone back to brand new facelifts. I personally think they look much better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
