I'm thinking of converting to single lamps, how simple is this? are the twin lights part of a unit? are golf headlights similar?

Cheers!

Mike.

I think Mk2 Polo lights are the correct size and have both dim/dip bulbs. not 100% sure though.....

Its the modding of the grill that the hardest part.

It is! 8)

I would like it matt black, slammed with a wider track, and single lamps with no grill on the front, plus yellow headlights, and a ridiculous sunstrip!

A tall order i know, but it would be stunning to see what it would look like. :D

Heres some pics;

wider track = i.e pumped out wheels, i.e like spacers
and
what in place of the grill, can't just be nothing, slates all the way across? mesh? mdf lol?

I'm sorry, but that looks like a photoshopped car to me... quite a blatant one too.

Check the duplicated areas...

You might be right but it might be duplicated because the took two grills and plastic welded them together and only the bit for the right side fit the contours of the right side properly, and only the bit from the left side fit the contours of the left. If you know what I mean?
