I thinking in the line of metalic silver with lots of glitter in.

How easy is it to change the chrome spots to headlamps with the sealbeams?

That colour is awesome!

Changing the lenses is as easy as piepie in die bad!

Which chrome spotlight must i get and which sealbeam? do you have part numbers or pics for me Pine?

No part number, but they are fairly common (I've even seen Hyperama or Hypermarket and Game selling them). Sold as 'Off-road' spot lights, and they each have 2 'large hose clamp' fittings to secure the lens inside a rubber housing. Usually go for around R 150 each.

They have a clear spot light lens. You do not neccesarily have to get a sealed beam lens. I've put lenses in that can take bulbs with the dim and bright filament. (The same size as the inner lights of a CitiGolf). You should even be able to get lenses with a fitting for a park light, from a place like Bosch Diesel electric.

The buggy isnt a bad shape at all but I see why you needed to buy the other floor pan. The colour is without a doubt not of my liking but a toy is a toy and that buggy has plenty of potential to be a fantastic vehicle.
