Continental Headlights again, sorry

Hi
The wings are the same, as Simon says, but the panel under the headlight is not the same...you'll need the panel from the earlier model, which isn't tapered for the newer shape lights, and trim it to the shape of the new grille...not hard!
Cheers

The new grill extends down past the bottom of the under-headlight trim panel so I think the centre section would need to be cut away and removed to leave just the sections under the headlights.

I think the newer headlights are taller as well as slightly curved so you may get away with the smaller flatter old units and may end up with a gap underneath (which might be easier to deal with than cutting material away).

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?

Hi
No...the old grille won't fit...the new grille goes down into the bumper, and you'll only need the old shape headlights to cut up, the indicators, and the trim panel under the headlights...As I said, you can then measure the trim panel and cut it to fit the new shape grille...it cuts very easily with tinsnips.
Give George at Bongospares a call and tell him what you want for some second hand units: http://www.bongospares.co.uk/

BMW E36 lights have been fitted to Bongos - so they are a possible.

The new updated version sold for them has the indicator built in now.
They do these in LHD no doubt.

Hi
There's a lot more work in fitting those...I had actually thought of fitting those myself...and there are one or two others worth considering, but lots more work
