Not saying its true, BUT is very possible, as we trailer manufacturers, have to have our body's inspected and certified by the inspectors of the SABS regulations control section, on a number of issues on fibreglass body's, in fact on all body's, never mind what its made of.
This goes for body modifiers as well.
They inspect the glass, the lights, the seating, the door locks, the ventilation.
So this is possible..... Maybe contact the Kit car guys, they will know what new laws control their industry.
Best of luck.... :)

The endless search for the perfect light setup continues...

These have been added to the short list..... Which is rather long already...

What you think?

Now if one of you clever dudes can photoshop the lights onto the pic of TF and post it we can all get an idea of what it could look like..... :zhelp:

I just don't see how three lights in a narrow line are going to work on a big round area/car/front. Look at these Alfa's, they all have a front reminiscent of the T34 complete with sinister frown/scowl. A Beetle shape is too open, honest and cheerful. Does this make any sense?

I agree, the Alfa lights look fantastic! On an Alfa.. :|

I want to use small head lights with 2 2" driving lights, not really into the BIG lights like the mini or even the beetle lights... Maybe the biggest I wanna go is the size of the Golf 1 spot light....
