Single headlamp grills

Post Tue Jan 31, 2006 11:55 am

I've seen some e30's with only one headlight per side, what are these and where can i get one of these grills.

Thanks in advance

May have been a photoshop? I've never seen a genuine one, but there have been a few home made efforts, I know Si316 tried, but don't think he was happy with the finished product.

I saw the car on the front of performance BMW mag and the end of last year, it looked very OEM.

Its for a track car, so mainly for function rather than looks

mate of mine used mk1 golf single head light covers and modified them looked alright but not my cup of tea

Post Tue Jan 31, 2006 2:34 pm

I'm liking that - v.retro.

not my cup of tea either, just doesnt look right.

Hmmm not to fussed about the grill but what i want for my drivers side grill is the hole still to be where the main fog lamp is but the dip beam headlight to become a hybrid and have the full beam in built...

...just so that i can get even more air over my intercooler.

Post Tue Jan 31, 2006 2:50 pm

really quite like that, although it does have a whiff of mk1 polo but i quite like it.

food for thought

Post Tue Jan 31, 2006 2:55 pm

Yeah I like it in the way that it looks cool but I wouldn't have it if you know what I mean.

Could you not wire in some VW Golf lights from their single conversion?

It makes the front end look thin!

Not my cuppa coffeÃƒÆ’Ã‚©

think it looks horrbile!

Post Tue Jan 31, 2006 4:58 pm

Hmmmm... not bad at all, definly very retro looking. A bit left of centre, always a good thing!!

if my turd ever sees itself on the road again

I think I am going to give this a go.

that style should stay with the golf imho

and even the golf looked better with the quad lights... gives it a meaner look

rubbish, all golfs look better with the single headlamp conversion and an eyebrow spoiler, and if you can afford it, the 3 slat grille.

I think that E30 looks proper

Post Fri Feb 03, 2006 5:00 pm

no no double head lights! with the eyebrow.... the double headlights coming back into the dub scene with a force!

Post Fri Feb 03, 2006 5:04 pm

You're all wrong, double headlights, NO eyebrows!

I prefer the Rallye headlight on the Mk II golf myself.

Exactly right! the quad lamp lip spoilers look wrong. Only beaten by simons suggestion of the rallye conversion, no jetta light wrongness mind you.

I may have to see if the golf headlight design can be retro fitted if I end up keeping it.
