I know! I´m waiting for these also sooo long..... As I had a damage on a parking last month ... and the driver simply left without any notice..... I realised I have to do something to avoid buying a set of f**ed rubbish used ones fpor 500 € each......... And that will be the result

You shouldn't have stuck that silly sh*t on them, in the first place.

Very true for the first set of lights i had and when i put the film on (lesson learnt) but ive had them resprayed since then and they look really good but iv want the standard look again. So ive bought some more and they still steam up after i split them and resealed them. There the only thing on the vx that i really hate and to the point sometimes i could sell the bloody vx because of them. In my life i must of split and resealed vx lights around 10 times and each time it never seems to work. I suppose this is fun of the vx

[GF ORCE8]

the üproblem with resealing is the BACK of the lamps. There the water comes in. Know that as I have taken lamps apart COMPLETELY for swaping RHD to LHD lights. there are many areas where they are not sealed.... So resealing the front end is only 50% of the job needed to make them really sealed....

Ain't that the truth.

PRICING INFO:

Version Full Spec, hardcoated WITH E-Mark (!) 189 € / side, complete set 378 €; in GBP around:147 / side; 295 / set
Version Low Spec, w/o hardcoating, w/o E-Mark: 129 € / side, complete set 258 €; in GBP around: 100 / side; 200 / set

Procedure: 50 % prepayment => start of production, full payment as soon as ready for shipment => shipment

When arguing about the pricing, please consider that the quality is TOP, and was priority #1 rather then a cheap "homemade" pricing.
To get an idea of the quality, here a reference picture. What´s good for the works Mini Countryman WRCs is just fine for our VX I think


Minimum combined (version 1+2) order QTY will be 15 full sets to kick it off. As this is also running in the german forum, it really shouldnt be a problem to reach the minimum.

SO, preorders are accepted.
Delivery will be according to order-order

OK, but that´s enough for now. Will postr more infos as soon as I can give some proper info on the final covers by means of how they look like

Best regards

[Bumblebee]

Look a good price to me if they are as you say good quality Think I would like to see some feedback first though just to confirm there going to be air tight ie not let any water in etc Just out of interest When do you think you look into doing the rears?
