I do think they look better on darker coloured cars
I agree.
Dolphin grey too because our Daughter had them on hers and they suit that colour too.

Just had a trial fit of the headlamps.
I took pictures but my camera was bust so I have to use the phone, so the quality is rubbish.
But hopefully you will get an impression.

Certainly very unique Steve and I think the end result will be great. Are you going to use silvatec indicator bulbs on the finished article to get ridof the amber repeaters?
Hi Dave,I,m sure you know Steve that a rear disc conversion will make a difference to the "feel" of the braking system in a positive way. It may be expensive but you will then have the assurance of having basically a brand new A2 - looking forward to the photo,s of the work too !.

The problem is caused by the way that the Bi-Xenons "dip".
The unit takes a feed from the dipped beam circuit and the live feed from that operates the flap to cut off the correct part of the beam (there is only one bulb in the unit and the shutter switches the pattern from Dipped to Main)
Hi MattHi Steve,
Would you mind confirming how the Xenon bulb is wired please? Are you saying that the bulb is fed from the main beam and the shutter is fed from the dipped?
Regards,
Matt.
I will also be fitting new tyres, the ones I have on have only covered less than 100 miles, but they have become very noisy and they were far from good quality. The company that sold me the wheels only charged me £35 a tyre !!! and that is for 215 35 18s. But I wasn't going to fit decent tyres until I was sure they wouldn't rub.
They only rubbed a little and most of that was due to the suspension bushes being perished and allowing sideways movement (just a tiny bit but enough to catch the wheel arch a little on cornering).

Oh my! I am soo full of envy!
Great job, will study your mods for my car too.
