plexi glass long range

heh, due to a lack of time for a visit to italy for 'new' long range lights, i decided to make my own glass. so i took the 8mm thick plexi, cut out the shape and grind it fit. here's the result:

Looks like a good job!

Shouldn't think they would bug you about it, they are only auxilary lamps, after all.

Would be even better if you could make plexiglass covers for the fixed focus foglights!

Installed! see photobucket...

they are slightly deeper than original glass, needs some more grinding, they have some glueing glitches, but at least the car doesn't look gap-toothed. hm, i might try fog lamps too some day!

bye!

Now you don't have to sit in front of your broken glass anymore when you take a picture of your car

Is the plexi still comlpete?
what about MOT or the dittering of the beam?

yep, they're still fit, although they tend to unglue (the glue didn't seize to plexi, it is more like vacuumated to it). no trail of incoming stones. the MOT guys didn't say a word, they were more interested in my "catalitic pipe", why isn't there any converter...
dittering? unknown meaning of a word to me, sory. Maybe dithering? they don't dither, the popups used to, but i've changed the gass springs and all ok. (i didn't know there's a spring in them, i thought it was just a damper

)
