then maybe put indicators on there somwhere, where else could i put them??? side skirts??? iaz


could you mount them in the vents at the bottom of the front bumper, the bits that go like this ///

as long as there really bright that might look quite neat


thats good idea but i dont think mot wud like me calling them side repraters more like front indicators! will work summit out i am sure

Get window tints and mount the lights down each side just behind the rear window so you can only see them when they light up from the outside. Assuming this isnt illegal.

LIGHT CONVERSION:-

got some fiat brava lights eventually on wednesday from scrappy! have had mornings off last 3 days but working nights so have cracked on with it!

here are the pics:-

before i started with the lights ready, smooth bodywork a little more also

the lights to go on. look how deep they are!!!!!!

before the grinder came out

just starting to cut out part that fouls the light

the difference in the light size

VERY strong metal plate welded in to put strength back in

bonnet cut so it closes, still got cut some more out

lights masked up and many metal peices added to bring bonnet down to lights and get rid of grill, to straigh the grill will add shape in after with fibrglass and filler

then realise after extended the bonnet i could not open it to get to latch, got in eventually with a nail and struggling............was funny tho!!! so then strengthen the fibreglass with metal plate behind and but the v grill out cos that was getting in the way!

added extra plate to the catch part so i can now reach it to open the bonnet with grill extended

wings extedned

closer pics, all pretty rough for now can work from the strong base now



further away pic!



pretty happy with it so far, need to wire the lights up and set the height up now, then fill in holes in bumper mod that to bring it up to the lights!

oh yea got a name for the car now also..............i have jagcorsa so this can now be CORSABRAVA..............hehe
