When you find a set of TVR speed 12 headlights you have to let me know the price for them.:silly:

I'm sure the Speed 12 headlights are just small diameter lights arranged in a cluster. You could very easily do this.



Have you seen Marco's bug? He has made contoured pods that sit inside sloping clear lenses that house HID units. Reminds me of a gas mask!

ricola:those lupo lights might be a nice mod, I'll think about what exactly I will do in the future, right now I have all the time in the world to figure it out (well almost all the time in the world).

genius:if I find out how much they cost I'll let you know
Thats if I can find a pair for sale!

Try talking to TVR directly, everybody has a website. You could call but that would be like .35 cents a minute.

Yeah I'm blowing money on useless crap, but the thing is I've just begun my project and I want it to be highly modified, tastefully and everything about it has to function flawlesly... I'm glad that you'd rather have a HUGE motor... so will I, but thats were we seperate, I want my car to blow people away with asthetics and when I go FAST it will really make an impression...maybe even inspire some one to get into VW's and/or the German Look!

THATS WHY I "BLOW" MONEY ON "USELESS" STUFF...

BTW: It will take me some time to build the car exactly how I like it!

Hope that clarifies things up for you

John

I like that genius, it sound like you know what I'm talking about...
I forgot to add that I want my car to be carismatic in the VW world, but the downside, it is going to take me sooooooooooooo long to complete my project especially when I figure out what kinda light I'm gonna use for my car, the front air-dam is harder than I though, carbon fiber is a b1T*h to work with and I haven't yet honed my grafting skills yet but for the most part it's all coming along pretty smoothly, the most difficult aspect about my project would be the light, then the hood cowl and ducting:silly: :silly: :silly:

I need a break to get my head in gear again, maybe putting the body back on the car and moving it out side is a good thing, I'm gonna start looking for a storage unit to put the pan in, while I keep the body at home.......

My car will have porsche turbo brakes, wheels, and suspension. It will have widened fenders, an electric rear wing and a full roll cage. All trim will be shaved and there will be carbon fiber everywhere. Sounds like a pretty fast car, Huh. Not really as it will only have 80 to 90 hp for a long while untill I can afford my turbo type 4 motor. But it sure will look fast.

I have already seen the decklid on a beetle. The tranny was done in a subaru powered standard from Austrailia. I think I can remember seeing the door handles and side view mirrors on a bug but I can't be sure. Now you got me thinking.:silly: :silly:
