hey everyone i was just wondering about the fake fiberglass vl calais fronts have anyone bought one before and have pictures of them on a car ? do they look like a real calais front on the car ?

yeh thay are pritty good man for a cheap way out a mate got one a couple weeks back and it does the job driving towards it you cant tell..

my mates got one on.just back from paint shop....cant tell the diff!

Hey guys i was wondering if anyone noticed a problem at night driving as the light lids cover roughly 50% of the reflector. Have you just bought brighter lights?

they flap about in the wind abit.. and are a little tricky to line up nicely, just takes patience.

I've got them on my car, They look pretty good, Only if the person came up with that idea 20 years ago they would of been millionaires by now, Coz Calais front were very dear many years ago. The fiberglass trick would have done the job just perfect. ---------- Post added 19-06-10 at 20:45 ---------- Quote: Originally Posted by VLPOLBT1 [View Post] I've got them on my car, They look pretty good, Only if the person came up with that idea 20 years ago they would of been millionaires by now, Coz Calais front were very dear many years ago.

My brother has a fibreglass front on his calais, is looked mint when painted properly, he actually filled it all up so there was no line between headlights and centre. But at night the light output was absolutely ****house because of the half covering of the headlights, woulndt recommened it for a daily driver, probably even a defect.

I have driven my car at night many times and the light visibility is good there is still enough clearance for the globes to give you enough lighting.

there's already threads about this try a search under fibremaster
