Does anyone have any more info on how the Abflug kit uses the original lens rim?

"Not destroying your old lens" sounds like a good choice to me.

how is the fitting? does it fit same as the stock ones? very hard to see from the front of the lens

Ask gzaerojon - he did conversion for JamieP so he will have accurate info

If you are still confused I will take photos of the lens I have removed and explain how it works. Should be able to work it out from the links in this thread.

 

Of course I'm sure Jon will fit them for you anyway - he is having a pair off me to play with.

I have not fiitted the lip to the lens, so it is floating in these pictures. I am reproducing the lip to go on the back so as you don't have to cut up original lens. I just wanted a picture with the lens so you guys knew what I was talking about. Again catch 22, without doing the run I will not have a picture of a fully fitted lens, and without a picture of it fitted some people will be tentative about putting name down.

 

If you use the original lens and cut out the lip it has to fit right back where it started though?!

wow they look goood

somebody knocked me off the list

[suprattgaz]

I will order 25 then tomorrow (he is on holiday today). I am hoping to get it down to the £60-£50 mark, but without asking them I would just be guessing.

 

As this is more popular than first anticipated I have made a mould for the outer lip so as you don't have to cut up your old lens (I would say using your old lens is marginally better, but the option is there). Again guessing due to numbers but these should be about £20 a pair.

 

I will have more info tomorrow on delivery, £, etc once I have spoken to the plastics shop.

got replacement lamps so dont need em now

[suprattgaz]

Material has been ordered for big run today - will be done next week.

 

As far as money goes, for a run of 25 it works out at £55 a pair.

 

They will be made of high impact acrylic - doesn't shatter when it fails (due to stones etc.)

 

The easiest way of fitting them seems to be to keep clear of putting them in the oven, and just trimming the original lens in situ. Only pull the lens off if you want to play with the interior(paint it, fit abflug type insert etc.) THIS NEEDS TO BE CONFIRMED

 

I have also replicated the lip on the lense so as you can pull the original off and keep it un-damanged if so wanted. They work out at £25 a pair and are from Fibre-glass. I will take photos tomorrow so as you know what I am talking about.

 

Once the lenses have run and I am happy with the quality I will put up a new thread in a couple of weeks.

Attached piccies I took this evening to try and show what has been done so far. I have taken a picture of the 4 components of the headlight. The small black lip connects the lense to the main headlight body. This is the part you can cut from original, or as you can see I have also made a copy from F-Glass. I put the original and copy lenses together to give you an idea of how identical a swap for swap they are. Last photo shows lip in place without lense on it. VERY GOOD FIT!!!

 

This is still prototype lense so ignore rough edges & gaps with lense (not glued yet!). Also have not cleaned up glue yet from main body so it looks a bit of a mess that end too. I will have a proper lense end of week so will assemble it as it should be, but for those of you confused as to how it assembles this should help.

 

I also sprayed inner to look like face lift. Didn't do swap but bet it looks the dogs on the car!!!
