Still think the idea of the cheap plastic covers, cut & painted, is a good idea.

smudger if you pay attention to the photo, you will see that these japanese jobbies are actually very detailed. Notice the very subtle lip along the straight edge. Cutting up a pair of union jacks will be fine, but these are definitely much more professional and actually look quality rather than just a cheap mod :lol:

Just had another e-mail

hi they will come in black gelcoat so will need priming and painting, i didn't actuallt realise there were the top and bottom i thought it was just the top!!! the price i gave was just for the top but as i made the mistake, i'll do top and bottom for £30 if thats any good to you?

cheers
Ben

"Looking at what your after and what he has replied they sound different. Your asking for a Headlight Cover, he's on about Peaks. So which ones are you after?"

Hi all just to confirm On what smudger said, i've bought some peaks which i will modify into covers i'll use return lip from the peaks to make sure fitment is perfect.

As for the price it was my mistake i didn't look at the pic properly so for everyone on here i'll do the bottom set for cost

Ie, whoever is making the bottom set, they'll sell them at whatever it costs for materials, ie. they won't make any profit.

anymore info on whats going on with the making of these???

i think just the top ones will look stupid, ive done a few photoshops and i cant get a better look than what the eyelids look like now!

i think £30 is good for top and bottem but is that a pair???

if everyones happy with that, go for it :lol:
