Head And Tail Light Conversions ?

[Guest coxie1.9]

hi,

 

my mi16 205 is to be made subtley into a show car looker (when running lol ) .. and im wanting to change / clean up my car slightly to make it fresher .. and am considering a 306 phase 2-3 headlamp and taillight conversion ..

 

has anyone had any experience of doing these or no any that have ?

 

alternatively some more suggestions as im a little lost for inspiration at present ...

hmm.. the only person i can think of whose done a head light conversion is damian. Might be worth searching for threads by him, he used Polo lights IIRC.

hmm, not sure to be honest, i've seen the 306 headlamps used in conjunction with the Maxi kit, but on their own they might be slighty overpowering...

oh dont get me wrong will be with a kit just not a stupidly huge one .. thinking of using the 306 phase 1 gti bumper made to fit with the anteraes style arches all round .. then 16" - 17" wheels with a bit of a euro look to them .nothing too large .. but the lamps am going for a simpler and smoother than 205 ones

ive seen somebody do the 206 headlight convertion and it just made it look wrong not sure on the 306 tho

 

just seen a post in general car chat think the topic is headed "you think your 205 is unreliable!" LONGUN has a pic of a 205 i belive with 306 headlights. maybe speak to him

i've seen (and should have pics) of 205's with 206, 306, 406 headlights

as well as 206, 306, 306 cabrio and 406 tail lights. most of them fit using

some kind of wider arches and a lot of creativity!

 

 

but you don't have to confine yourself to pug bits, here's an excellent topic:

Changing headlights must be a right old mission. I bet you could get an mi engine in in about the same time. And I have to say that the green 205 looks so so tasteless.... what headlights are they?
