Sharpie Posted June 28, 2006 Share Posted June 28, 2006 Just got my headlight replacement sprayed, and it's looking good for the price it cost me.....£0 I get on well with the bodyshop manager Here are some pic's from when I bought it from Mig and now that it's sprayed. I thought if I put the part on a white sheet it would look better but, I'm not sure ? It took 3 attempts to get it right, lots of air in or something ???

Darren Posted June 29, 2006 Share Posted June 29, 2006 I saw a red Supra in Eastbourne last Saturday that had its headlamp modified and mainbeam was an intake for the airfilter looked really good as it came towards me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suprash Posted June 29, 2006 Share Posted June 29, 2006 I didnt like these, but have to say sprayed they do look better, are these not made no more then ? There was someone on here that was looking into possibly drilling through either in plastic but I ideally want glass as I have glass headlamps. Pete, get it fitted and get some pics up...... Can we buy these anywhere ? How much ? And if you was to drive around in the day time with it in, could plod do you or can you get away with the day use only thing....?

Me too mate, but someone here was going to look into it, will have to see if I can find the thread........... I know you can buy glass hedlights converted like this in Japan, it was in one of those, what I call Porn for Supras catologues, but you cant order through those over here, Paul E just had the catologue to drool over, maybe he didnt......lets ask, Paul........

Rob Posted June 29, 2006 Share Posted June 29, 2006 Without wishing to throw a spanner in your ointment, if it's for dragging or track days why bother getting it sprayed up? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suprash Posted June 29, 2006 Share Posted June 29, 2006 Without wishing to throw a spanner in your ointment, if it's for dragging or track days why bother getting it sprayed up? Attention to detail............... Cause it looks better................... Cause the standard grey it is looks crap.......... Cause we care about the look of our car.............. Anymore.....

Rob Posted June 29, 2006 Share Posted June 29, 2006 Naaahhhh, if you really cared about the look of your car, you'd never trackday it. I see your point though, but I don't think anyone else at a trackday or drag strip would care what other peoples cars looked like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suprash Posted June 29, 2006 Share Posted June 29, 2006 Naaahhhh, if you really cared about the look of your car, you'd never trackday it. Why ?? I see your point though, but I don't think anyone else at a trackday or drag strip would care what other peoples cars looked like. When I go to track days or drag day I always look at cars I like, or look out for things that a different, after all you dont get that many enthusiasts in one place at the same time, so I think your backward on this one No offence....

Rob Posted June 29, 2006 Share Posted June 29, 2006 Actually, if I took my thinking to its logical conclusion, I'd just take the headlight out and leave it at that, so I suppose if you're going to go to the trouble of getting a replacement ducting piece, you might as well paint it up to match the car. Well, that was a turnaround. Anybody else want some time wasting? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
