So I picked up a pair of Mk1 headlights last weekend, and noticed how awesomely easy it is to convert them to clears, if you so wish. Just unclip the glass, unscrew the orange cover....job done! Just not sure if it's a good look



Thanks to Steve for hooking a whiteboy up with some pimp parts!

cheers

they look great Foggy but dont you need orange bulbs to make them legal ?

Oooh awesome! Didn't know that, that looks sweet... I want a Mk1

I know of a good MK 1 for sale - low milage (about 40,000 I think) .

i also have soem Mk spares about inlcuding head lights

Oooh... where and price?

You want a mark one, then I show you your ideal car, and let your mate buy it

Looks modern, but my problem is that i like older stuff...with orange glass.

Where are you going to mount it in?

There's a Black Beauty for sale in the netherlands. Thats a real rare MK1 with black exterior, and red interior. Wouter, antiekeradio has one of the few in the netherlands. Wish I had the money. Its not quite expensive...

Yes, I am actively looking for one...but it has to be...
1) RHD
2) 3dr
3) The "mid generation" mk1....short bumpers, number plate on bumper, the same dash used in early mk2s.
4) Relatively clean. A little rot isn't a bit deal but I'd like it as straight and clean as possible.

Budget is there but not huge.

I know of a mk1 for sale, but it's a) concours condition, and b) £1000....

EDIT: Oh, and I think not having a car to fit them in is a bigger problem than the clear bulbs Mick!

cheers

I think he wants about £150 - £200 ish for it. I've not seen the car myself but will go and have a look to see what it is like.

Ooh 3 or 5 door? Although I guess foggy wants this more than me if it's a 3-er;)

I'm not sure tbh. I will try and get some exact details tmorrow if poss

Thanks Dai, that would be great. 3dr is essential. Beyond that, all things are possible...

cheers

James

Why MK1? Like the looks? Or going for a 363 rebuild?:P If I had the money, id love to rebuild that.

I've spoken to the chap today. It is a 2 door but buy the sound of things its a early MK2

In a way that would do what you want - I asume the front pannels will all bolt on. I'm sure I have most of teh front end bits.

I'll know better some time next week when I go and look at it.
