E30 Zone

Walking from st albans train station i just saw what looked like a pre facelift red 4 door e30.
Had to look twice and a third time as it has square lights!
Is this a foreign spec or something cus it looked like a merc.

think Zender used to do some quad square headlamp grilles, can't recall E30 ones very much, defo E21's though

not particularly nice and very much "of their time"

yuk ! square lights

i recall e30's in the late 80's with square lights, but definatly not very nice

I remember them, usually only saw them in red and white.

yeah it wasnt pretty, it looked like an old golf, or polo, cant remember which one, It was just strange to see thats all.

I remember them and I like em.

an old golf with square lights? your thinking about a jetta mate

I used to live in St Albans and regularly saw the car you're on about. YES, you did see correctly.
Zenders they are. I walked past the car one day and had a damn good look. I almost left a note on his screen asking if he wanted to sell his headlights (just to have something a bit different) but they wouldnt have looked right on my car.

They have to be round

Unless the pic is the wrong way round, that's a LHD cab ... did our European brethren have that as an option?

kamei rings a bell

No they didn't. Hella were one of the perpetrators of that disaster. Aftermarket jobbie.

The car was a bit of a heap tbh, not worthy of aftermarket goodies, It looked like it would have been a model before the tech 1's.
It works untill you get to the edges with the round grille.
Deffinately different.

Yes i think i probably was, actually

Is there any cars on the zone with these cus i never knew they existed.

this was quite a common conversion back in South Africa, as well as on Golf MK1 and Ford Cortina's Capri's etc..with similar set-up and was even available on E28! The build quality was crap and the cars usually had other junk on them as well, like rear window lourves and those pathetic solid rear light bars. Looked like it was made from reconstituted puke.

If you love em you can have them!!!!!
