Yeah thats Cupra jakes old motor with Merc SL bezels. :)

IMHO Once you have projectors - nothing comes close :D

Schumacher 14 May 2008 11:08 PM

Yeah, but I recently fitted new Merc projectors as the old ones gave up. They're definitely cool.

And why doesn't anyone refer to it as my car? :razz::D

darms 02 October 2008 08:25 AM

If your asking me to make some for you ...... sorry no can do :( I just dont have the time these days. I've still got a set of projectors sitting in my garage from a new age Mini that I was planning to retrofit into my run-a-about corsa.

Give it a go mate :D I'm always around if you need any advise or help. :thumb:

They look cool, but before you cut up your headlights I'd check the cut off and light pattern. ;) - Just to be on the safe side.

IMHO I'd have gone for OEM rather than aftermarket, 100% better eg eBay Motors: BMW E46 M3 Xenon Projectors Headlights Retrofit HID KIT (item 380067622380 end time Oct-25-08 18:33:06 PDT)

At the end of the day its gonna be an improvement on the OEM headlights we all hate :lol:

Keep us posted anyway :thumb:

How difficult would it be to fit projectors into the INNERS of a pair of classic Morettes?

darms 21 November 2008 09:36 PM

Everyone who have requested the password YHM ;)

The first problem AFAICS will be that the reflector/lens is a single unit with a glass lens and metal refelctor.

I wondered about completely removing the light unit and fitting something else, like a projector, or a Hella 90mm unit like fitted to the P1.
