Hi Guys

 

I'm making a replica sports 500/ cooper sports car. I checked online but cannot find clear third brake light photos. If you have one of these cars, please share some close up photos :xmas:

 

Thanks.

There's a post here with some part numbers to find them. They were a generic Hella brake light

Thank you very much guys,

 

a small question which is again related to this ,

 

How are the 4 additional lights works in the sports version? I know two in the middle are driving lights and two in the corners are fog lights?

 

Driving lights - are they turn on with the normal headlights or is there a separate switch?

Fog lights - there is a separate switch in the center switch panel

Although they don't come with the vinyl window sticker in which they mount to, otherwise you just see the adhesive strips.. and they look terrible.

Driving lights come on with headlight. No seperate switch.

Foglights can only come on with side/main lights from a switch on the dash.

Hi Guys

 

Another question on the sports project, do I must need to purchase 78mm studs with the 3/4" wheel spacers which are selling in minispares? Cant we use shorter studs or stock studs at all? im using 13inch sportspack wheels

 

Uploading some pics of the project. Dashboard is done with three gauges in the middle, such a huge work, Had to remove AC vents and route them via side heat vents.
