Single headlamp conversion...

[Speedtouch]

jon_pure_british, do you by chance have a link to the Dodge Charger-style grille conversion (my favourite car!)

Would look so on my black 325i...

Ive read somewhere that the single lamp grill can be made using a mk1 golf grill, ill see if i can find it( i think it might have been in german though)

[tha_lick]

taking the high beams out of the cluster is easy, i agree with a post above, its the grill thats the hard part

[Flozman]

im sure i could make one, ive done things like this before with a soldering iron.

[vinni]

I think it looks quite smart, i found this picture of one.

Looks to me like a widened old bread-van shape (Mk2?) Polo. Wouldn't bother myself.

I like it, I even started butchering a pair of e30 grilles a few months back in a quest to do this, but quickly got bored

would lose the eyebrow though, hate eyebrows on e30's

Really not keen on that, Looks weird, looses a lot of the e30 character! Do quite like it when one light is taken out in order to get cool air- looks quite menacing!
As regards making up the grille, Dont think it would be too hard to make one up, either bodging 2 sets of e30 grilles together or finding something similar and combining the two....

Going to a scrappy at some point in the next few days to pick up some odds and sods for a mate so Ill see if I can pick some up and have a play with it....

[nickstoner]

i totaly agree it looks like dropy and sad were with twin lights itlooks mean and angry!!

or how about running both high beam lights as brake ducts and then main and dip beam in to orignal dip unit

i do think that would look good??

but is one main beam legal??

could always put a blank grill right across so no lights at all !! just the stock looking grill right across and no kidney grill that would look mental!!!!!!

il get on photo shop and play

I was thinking one side as induction and one side as a camera mount, with a set of big spots on the front.

[zimmer-320i]

any think but stock looks nice i mean a single duct looks good

[robbo86]

wouldnt do it, I hate the idea!

[zimmer-320i]

well ill be removing the near side light for ashford meet but may not do as its a afternoon meet

thinking of it just sitting inside the light mount but dunno if i can get the light out had the grill of but cant see how to get the unit of the pod noticed the rusty looking bolt with the plastic buterfly things with wd40 would they ease off? or are they stuck fast??

[GrindCulture]

This is an old thread but that touring looks fooking cool. I like the single light look, but I don't like it enough to bother doing one.

[zimmer-320i]

it does indeedy, i like it but if you look at it long enoth it makes the sides drop down and look sad instead of looking mean lke the e30 front end does

[Emm3]

What if the single lamps were smoked hella style

[Albinojay]

I want one.

[zimmer-320i]

might be nice
