Hi people i need some avice this is the 2nd post as did not get anywhere with the first one right i am thinking of buying a chargespeed complete body kit for my 51 pate bugeye but the hawkeye version of it will it fit onto my bug? with that i was thinking of changing the headlights to hawkeye what would i need to do that? because the bodykit comes with bumper wings ect so i dont need to worrie about that its just fitting the headlights how would the wireing work ect

any info would be good cheers

 

wouldnt bother mate, leave it as a bugeye.. there would be alot of work and money required to change it to a hawkeye i would have thought... bumper, bonet,wings,lights etc etc

 

ive got the money mate and like i said i am going to buy a chargespeed body kit for a hawkeye just woundering if i brought the hawkeye bodykit will it fit on ?

 

fairenough.. i doubt very much the hawkeye kit will fit a bugeye tbh

 

mmmmm i heard somewhere that someone has dont it b4 or atleast just change the headlights

 

im not saying you couldnt convert the bug to a hawkeye properly i just dont think the hawkeye chargespeed kit will fit straight onto a bug

 

I have,well almost finished my bugeye to hawkeye conversion (ready for paint),it is not that hard but its not cheap,
you are getting the chargespeed kit so wings and bumper are sprted,but you will need
Bonnet £340
Bonnet scoop,fortune new iirc £200,i got s/h for £50
Head lights are like rokin horse ***** s/h,if you want sti xenon hid ones almost £600 each,non hid ones are around £350 each.
you will need the new front panel and headlight panels,so cutting and welding is needed,unless you bodge it with the chargespeed brackets (look crap to me),new genuine slam panel and 2x headlight panels were roughly £140,they are fairly easy to fit,clamp and weld @ 640mm from bulkhead to centre of 1st/slam panel wing bolt.

Think thats pretty much it,any questions just ask matey .

 

thanks alot mate i thought the sti xenon hid are just the bulbs? because ive got xenon light atm so cant i just use them?
