Hey all , i just bought fibreglass calais eyelids and side eyelids to make my normal vl a calais only difference is they dont popup, i dont have the funds to invest in buying a whole front end including motors..so this was my alternative...has anybody else come across fibreglass eyelids? One question, do they need to be primered? theyre black..and the guy selling them at the wreckers said to primer it and i asked him with what and he said not sure lol.. Any help would be appreciated.. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

i had one. search "fibremaster" and u will see pics of my old car, painted and unpainted. they look good, exactly like a normal front. just dont pop. how much did u pay out of interest?

$294..is that a god deal? also im buying calais tail lights for $90 pair..

i've got them you cant tell are the holes already done? because it will make life a lot easier. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

nah just did the holes and fitted it lol..drilling the h0les was alot of work actually..it was annoying trying to get it to fit straight.. But other then that they look fine.. my car came with stock calais wheels so it actually looks like a genuine calais :P.. Will i need to purchase the middle bit between the rear lights?

Will i need to purchase the middle bit between the rear lights? few more things than lights and wheels to look like a calais you dont need to purchase the 'garnish' (middle bit between the rear lights) ive seen cars with just the calais lights, doesnt look bad you can just paint yours black and get a sticker or plastic strip with the lines on it. there is some for sale in the advertisers section Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Fibremaster job... not too bad :-P

79MKB - thanks for the info im buying the grill for the front for $35 brand new, at the same place i got my eyelids from..what u think about that price? Also, do you reckon rare spares will have any calais badges? :P NZMike - That looks pretty schmick man Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

does anyone know if you can get defected on the eyelids not popping up? coz wouldnt that stop the lights working properly? i want one of these fibreglass calais fronts for my car like BIG-PSI's with no lines in it so it all looks like one big piece, but i dont know if its legal or not if the eyelids dont popup

Well im not too sure how things work over there, but its sweet as here. Got my WOF. and a cop pulled me up and gave it the once over and didn't ping anything...... it was at night time as well Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
