What to do with my foglights?

[Rocky_24]

Well i am very tempted as other people have been playing around with cooling scoops and what not,
however just for now to get rid of them coz im kinda not too keen on them, whats the best thing to do in every1's opinion.

just take em out? tape em over? or just go straight in a fit some kind of air duct to either the brakes or the engine?

or should i just leave them?

hmmmm........?

 

[JonniP]

you can get foglight covers maybe? do you have yellow ones or clear ones?

 

[Rocky_24]

clear ones, did toy with the idea of caps/covers to blank them out for now, but havn't re-searched into gettin any yet, or where to get them from

 

[JonniP]

get yellow ones?

 

[Gally]

Not sure what car you have mate.

 

[JonniP]

[Rocky_24]

[Rocky_24]

and thanks jonniP my mk1 looked exactly like that after i sold the morretts and carbon bonnet, was a phase 1 thoe, i miss it soooo much

just spotted yours is a phase 1 with a phase 2 grille, looks nice.

Remove the fogs and leave the black trims.

 

[Rocky_24]

yeah think i mite, cheapest and easiest way to do it for now.

Those fog light covers wouldn't fit yours, they're for a Ph1 Clio.

It looks great aslong as you have a splitter.

 

[Rocky_24]

hmmm, as i dont at the moment lol, whilst we are on the subject i dont have a splitter and when i dropped a bolt under my car i had a quick look and there were holes in the bumper is this where i fit the splitter to, or are these plastic rivvitts for the plastic splash panels under the engine?

 

[Henry]

not where you're heading, but fitting something like the 90mm Hella headlamps is something i'd be interested in trying (driving lamp conversion, basically). only problems are that they're expensive and would require some effort to fit

Remove the fogs mate, ive done it on the nearside,...

attached a trumpet to the hole and fed a cold air feed to the airbox.

 

[Rocky_24]

yeah will eventually do the cold air feed when i look into it more, are you running a cold air feed into a standerd airbox parky?

I had some insulation tape over mine a couple of weeks ago..

 

[Rocky_24]

*edit*

see that looks kool, i wanna do that to the drivers side and add sum sort of air feed with the passenger side,

plus thanks fletcher, mines same colour as yours minus the leaves, that was afta the goodwood blast home wasnt it?

 

[Fletcher]

^^^Have a look now

 

[Rocky_24]

cheers mate, so just normal black electrical insulation tape? just wrap it over loads of times?

Yep. all i did was cut a few strips, one layer was more then enough, and it only took about 5 mins.

 

[Rocky_24]

did u take the light out to do it? or just over the top as it is sat in the surround/bumper?

I just taped over the fog light lens/glass mate.

 

[DannoTheGreat]

[Rocky_24]

[scala]

What's wrong with fog lights? Leave 'em where they are imho.
