Another R17 owner planning to upgrade
- Thread starter Shoji
- Start date
Yup I have some headlights to do also, give them a plug. They look great!Seem more or less acceptable John.
Can I please have details of who did the job for our suppliers' list?
are the C the center ones and do they have a different pattern?
I presume they do.
No Vivid
I can't remember why I wrote that on them
But they are the outer low beams and the Fog pattern for the inner highs. They will have the yellow glass inside. Probably illegal.

maybe illegal yea, something about forward facing coloured lights, but they are pretty subtle and do look the part. I still l have some 16TX headlights with the french yellow glass bulb covers.
I will probably hardly drive in the night or even throw high beam on.
Yeah, I thought that. Joking again...
That sounds like an interesting project David, and deserves a thread all of its own when you start building it.
My God!
Beautiful work. There are quite a few artistic people here on AF!
Very cultured and civilised group of people. We shouldn't be surprised of course.
I'm definitely neither.
I don't own a cardigan or a citroen, but I do like the odd baguette and cheese. Definitely don't own any lycra riding shorts.
My posts about colour codes were somewhat related, but I haven't got that far yet.
The R16 front ends are just to hang on the wall, and designed to take LEDs.
I'll be asking for expressions of interest soon. I have modelled some tiny oscars for them too, so they can be built in various formats and models, custom plates etc.
I haven't modelled the later black trim yet.
Dauphine is probably next followed by the R17 then R10 R8 and A310. I've barely started on an Fuego and an R30, I guess for those 'Renault 12 lovers' Ill do a 12. Eventually I'll do whole models.
Maybe 1:1 models of the alpines
Here's some nice Cibies and Oscars for you Vivid.
Reflectors backs Incralacquered
Lenses bonded and fitted to the housings

What adhesive did you use, out of interest John?
This one johnw. small hand tube
I ran a small bead on the reflectors inner seam corner, then placed the lens within. Then a deep filling within the seam and glass, finished with a finger wipe. As delicate as I could.
