S1 headlight covers

Post by mainsy » Sat Apr 23, 2011 2:53 pm

Any recommendations for where to buy? I got a set off fleabay a while back and TBH I've never been happy with them. They didn't fit too well, the black border which hides the adhesive looked shabby, and they have warped with the heat from the lamps.

I got the 1mm thickness, would the 2mm be the better solution?

Or even better anybody got a set lying about? :D

I've got the Eliseparts ones on mine. Pretty happy with them to be honest - although not a perfect fit, you barely notice it.

Give me a shout if you want to have a look at them.

Cheers

Stephen

I stuck them on eBay a few days ago.

They are in good condition but have no tape around the outside to hide the sealant.

I'd be happy with £30 for them.

I had Lotus original ones, then Eliseparts thinner versions (I have a "regular" clam so bezels are not really designed to take the original covers). The EP ones have been just as good and fit better because they are thinner, although have one small fracture from a stone. That's what they are there for, though :thumbsup
