8800 Posted August 1, 2007 Share Posted August 1, 2007 Hi gzaerojon, are u still planning on making ur own clear lenses or you dropped the idea? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suprattgaz Posted August 2, 2007 Share Posted August 2, 2007 mplavery, b'have and myself as far as i know so far. The lenses i produced are exactly the same as the abflug, so you could include jamieP or gzaerojon as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elmo Posted August 2, 2007 Author Share Posted August 2, 2007 I've never seen the genuine Aflug lenses but I can't see them being much different to Gaz's, they do look really good and would look even better on my car, I just know that there is a 99% chance that I will bugger the job up thus writing off the lenses and a pair of headlights!

Suprash Posted August 2, 2007 Share Posted August 2, 2007 Hi gzaerojon, are u still planning on making ur own clear lenses or you dropped the idea? Come on Jon, I have been waiting ages for you to get this idea of the ground.......... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elmo Posted August 2, 2007 Author Share Posted August 2, 2007 Come on Jon, I have been waiting ages for you to get this idea of the ground.......... I might sell mine if your interested, never used an they do look really good. I also have a spare set of headlights ready for stripping. It's just a bit too big of a job for me.

Guest gzaerojon Posted August 2, 2007 Share Posted August 2, 2007 Hi gzaerojon, are u still planning on making ur own clear lenses or you dropped the idea? these are still in the making, i'll give you a shout next week as it's getting close now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest gzaerojon Posted August 2, 2007 Share Posted August 2, 2007 Come on Jon, I have been waiting ages for you to get this idea of the ground.......... i know if it was me making them it would be ok, but i can only go by what my guy says i'm afraid. it's costing me a fair price to get these going, and we have hit a few problems along the way. i could just have the clear lenses made, but going by how the abflug fit fits it would be a right pain to do, instead i'm having the lip moulded onto the lens so that they can me a direct replacement sorry it's taken so long Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest gzaerojon Posted August 2, 2007 Share Posted August 2, 2007 How will yours differ from those produced by suprattgaz? basically the original lens has a bult in lip that fits into a groove on the headlight backing, the abflugs don't have this lip so it means you have to cut the middle out or the original lens leaving a lip all the way round, then the clear lens is bonded to it. the ones i'm working on will have the lip already fitted, so the original lens will not have to be cut Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either way it would cost £ks to produce the moulds. Hope you get it right Jon !!!! I didn't have the capital to chuck at this like that, it was just a hobby on the side for me.
