Twin headlamp conversion coming to a 'for sale' thread near you soon....lol.

Let's hope they don't see this thread then :lol1:

Agree about the mini scoop. Only change of vents that look good are 22b ones :cool:

EOEUMC 07 July 2011 09:16 AM

Looks like the general consensus is before then Matty :thumb: lol
Maybe darker (black) would look ok against the white (which is what I text you the other day) but seeing it now then for me, before would also be my choice :)

BrownPantsRacing 07 July 2011 09:25 AM

Good point that. Spray them gloss black and have another look. may look a lot better. White just too much. Or get them carbon wrapped! :)

Paulo P 07 July 2011 10:17 AM

Before for me too, those headlights might look ok on a darker coloured car but not a white one.

gpssti4 07 July 2011 11:06 AM

Shall I be different and say after?























Na.............. before is much better.

joz8968 07 July 2011 11:21 AM

Agree with people saying to paint them black (gloss).

Or as also said, carbon wrap possibly...

Had the DR Motorsport 22B replicas on my previous 93 WRX's pre-facelifted bonnet -- sooo much better than the OEM 'shark gills, er, grilles' lol.

But really like the OEM vents on the facelifted bonnet - look mean. Matty do you still have it? If so refit it in place of that abortion of a mini scoop. :D ;)

Basically, get it back to OEM! :thumb:

Oh and fit a v.5/6 protruding front grille too -- looks more aggressive than the v.3/4's flatter job.

MattyB1983 07 July 2011 11:45 AM

Well that's my Saturday's work sorted then. Lol.

The lights came black but I really didn't like the look of them so sprayed them 230 white. If I'm completely honest I think I agree with all of you. Worth a try though and they were cheap.
Think I'll go back to the crystal headlights and re-fit the original bonnet vent. Im going to leave the air feed fog cover though I reckon.

You mentioned a V5/6 front grill,, will that be a direct fit with the old classic front bumper ?

Paulo P 07 July 2011 12:14 PM

Sounds like you have some good plans there, I wasn't a fan of the grill or scoop to be honest but I wasn't going to slate your car without being asked :D A version 5 or 6 grill will fit and it'll look sweet :cool:

SirFozzalot 07 July 2011 12:22 PM

Before, no question.

ScoobyForLife27 07 July 2011 12:39 PM

B E F O R E !!!

M444GY 07 July 2011 12:51 PM

before without a doubt mate

Scooby_MAN 07 July 2011 01:01 PM

Absolutley before!!!

I'm just gutted the question had to be asked. :lol1:

joz8968 07 July 2011 01:46 PM

Yep, v.5/6 grille straight fit on a v.3/4 car.

djsparra 07 July 2011 03:50 PM

\\\Defo Before my old fruit cake!!

ditchmyster 07 July 2011 03:55 PM

After :Suspiciou is gash.

Another one for lose the bonnet vent as well.

Don't mind the grill or the fog cover though.

Ryan@Indigo-GT 07 July 2011 05:20 PM

I'd go with before mate, as other have said, I'm not sure it works with the colour

BLU 07 July 2011 05:51 PM

Another before here too :D

Good move on the bonnet vent replacement :thumb:

Although its a direct fit, imo, the V5 grill with the early bumper just doesn't look quite right.

jaygsi 07 July 2011 06:00 PM

Before and agree with others prefer standard vent on bonnet.

joz8968 07 July 2011 09:47 PM

The problem with those particular twin lights is that there is TOO much surround and not enough light lens! :D

That's where the genuine Morettes score - much nicer looking with their bigger, more close together lenses. :)

Say it like you see it. :D

SCOOBYOLS46 07 July 2011 11:08 PM

i prefer before

but then again if the morrettes were in gloss black they would look way better like this link

Paulo P 10 July 2011 01:16 AM

Massive improvement and I love the fog light intake :cool: The brakes are alright too I suppose :D God I want brakes like those!!!

MattyB1983 10 July 2011 01:21 AM

Thanks fella.
Yea must admit, it does look a million times better.

Brakes aren't too bad are they... Treat yourself chap.

MattyB1983 10 July 2011 01:24 AM

Oh,,,
If anybody wants to buy those twin headlamps they are now in the for sale section...

You know you all want them.
