The glass ones do have a more promenant bulge than the plastic ones but they do mount and fit the same, so there shouldn't be a gap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest KARacing Posted November 14, 2005 Share Posted November 14, 2005 Keep the glass one. They are better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lazarus Posted November 14, 2005 Share Posted November 14, 2005 I think you missed the point there Ken, its immaterial whether the lamp is plastic or glass, the point is it is highlighting a poor repair. Can't you take the car back to where you had it "so call fixed" and point out the "Error" in there repair? Or was it not that type of deal? For what its worth, I don't think the glass headlights are better, I can't abide that hideous bulge. Just my opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
si wants supra Posted November 15, 2005 Author Share Posted November 15, 2005 Cheers guys, Paul said he'd replaice the light no probs but, I dont umderstand, the lines on the body work seem to be good, the lines of the headlight seem to be different. how I mean is the glass one seems to be more curved at the top, probably me wishful thinking and all that, gonna get it re-done next summer full job re-spray the whole car and that so some suggestions on good body repair guys around Manchester would be a great help. Also thinking of body kits anyone know of a good one which isn't to loud I've seen the do-luck type 2 kit is nice something like that any suggestions of which one where to buy and where to have fitted would be FANTASTIC. cheers Si Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

si wants supra Posted November 15, 2005 Author Share Posted November 15, 2005 Between I'd say 5 - 10mm no more that 10 deffinitely, the body work doesn't seem to move back any further. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
