I reckon the next best way or doing it (without getting the calais front) is to get 2 headlight covers and have the top half of the cover painted to look like a calais front. I've seen it done on a black wagon and it doesnt look to bad.

Yeah i rkn those headlight protectors look pretty good, its a wonder that more people dont do it. Would the black paint block some of the light though?

The wagon is indeed now turbo. Whether its still on the road I dont know, I havent spoken to him for a while. Obviously its going to block off a fair bit of light. So if you were to do this to your car id advise you in getting new headlights with brighter clearer bulbs... I am just looking for some headlight covers so I can do it to mine.
