Happy days! One very chuffed soon to be bongo owner.
So I just need to get hold of an old shape grill, the trim panel, oh and a couple of indicators, any ideas?

Re: Continental Headlights again, sorry
Simon,
Looking at the photos you've taken, I can't see if the wings are the same shape as on later models. Does anyone know if they are? If they are, at least it would just be a bumper and grill change.

Re: Continental Headlights again, sorry
We haven't actually purchased the van yet! We are collecting it in Feb half term. It is a W reg Aft with a rear 321 conversion. (According to my better half I will be changing this!!) I already have the winter wheels waiting along with the astra headlights. Once I get the van over to Germany, I will...

Re: Continental Headlights again, sorry
Guys, I live in Germany! Do we know if the headlight/ indicator 'hole' is the same shape as earlier models? I doubt it is as the bar over the bumper does not extend across the whole front. I have managed to get some lefthand Astra lights ready for the conversion but now I am a little worried I may h...

Re: Continental Headlights again, sorry
Does anyone have any knowledge on a left hand drive headlight conversion for a facelift model? I know the Astra ones fit (with jiggery-pokery) the pre facelift, but I wanted to avoid replacing the front end just for the headlights.

Re: Continental Headlights again, sorry
I used to have an Astra F. In the back of the lamp unit, there is a locating point for an electric motor that is connected to the reflector within the lamp unit. The motor is controlled by the driver via a thumb wheel.
Just wondering how people got round this issue?

Re: Continental Headlights again, sorry
Please can you tell me how you got round the self levelling function, as it looks very likely this will be the route I have to take.

Hi. Hope you can help. We are about to purchase our first bongo. I would like to know if there are any left hand headlights out there, if not does anyone know of a conversion or have experience of what can be done.
