Headlight conversion


Drifter

Recommended Posts

I have to say I love the beasic form of the b210, but there`s something about the design that puts me off. I think its the non-agressive front. So gotta find a way to make it cooler...

 

I have been thinking of doing a headlightconversion of some kind. Has to be right for a 70`s car ofcourse. Maybe have two headlamps on each side, and change the grill? I`m also thinking of some sort of race-frontlip. I think the a golf 1 item should work. 

 

But the headlight... anyone done anytghing similar (pictures?)

The front is sized for the larger single round lamps. What about later single square ones? The first year A10s were dual round but they changed to single round I think. What about a cut down A10 (later 510) grill and keep your single roung lamps?

Why not swap to the early 1990s Volkswagen Golf GTi headlamps? If I recall correctly, they have the cartridge type headlamps that can give you brighter light. The are the flat glass, similar to BMW 3-series lamps. This gives you agressive looks with modern light upgrade all in one package.

ive seen a 78 510 grill or similar year in a 210 for sale on craigslist a while back. ive got a spare if someone would be interested? was going to paint it just so i could have a stock one once i realized the paint job sucks to fall back on but if someone around here wants it just pm me. have headlight assys too with yellow highbeams. would look way better with the bumpers off. pulling mine once the weather improves. vw duck bill spoiler would definitely up the aggressive look too. hunting for one

Wouldn't know from personal but I have heard it is anyways. I want to eventually drop a vg30et into my car throw on the 8in wide progressive rims I have bolt up some zg flares and call it good. That would be a lot more than just looking aggressive! But hey I'm just a dreamer. The grills free if you want it for fitty you can have 510 front lights and rears to complete the look. Lol
