First you will need to buy some "SONAR" angel eye headlights.





Next Warm the whole unit up with a small fan heater or a hair dryer or blow heater taking care not to overheat the lense.(your doing this to soften the chewing gum type of sealer that holds the lense on.
You can get these quite hot without them melting
Get a screwdriver down the side of the headlight where the headlight lense joins the headlight and prise the lens off the headlight.
You can be rough as hell as the lenses are very very strong and durable.

Now you have the lense throw the rest of the headlights in the bin
You are now left with a lense.






With an angle grinder remove a slither off the sealing edge to make the lense flat .


you should then have a piece removed like this.




then take about 1-2mm away from the outside edge




check that it fits snugly like this




You can choose to paint the chrome bits if you desire but i reccomend you leave it chrome

heres mine in black  with a smoked indicator lense





and a set of neon angel eyes fitted also




and to finish off all you do is put a smear of clear silicone sealent on the mating surfaces and pop the clips back on.




and you can add angel eye rings at the same time using the HOW TO on www.notmything.co.uk



The finished thing



I take no responsibility for what anyone does with this how to guide.
You mod your car you are to blame if it goes wrong!
DONT BLAME ME !!!!

how is the head light lense all clear like that ??

would it not just be easier to fit the ones you bought in the beginning?
looks cool though!

so what better way to go?

Primark for some new pants perhaps? hehe

Good guide FatLadz.  Like your bonnet lip extension too, nicely smoothed in, unlike some where the join is too obvious.

i see your car is the same colour as mine also

Yup and we've both got heavily tinted windows & had them de-locked.

Mine hasn't got any body kit - I'm torn between being interested in subtle mods & keeping it standard.  I see that you've also shifted the repeaters from the wings to the mirrors, which further smooths the lines, as does the colour coding of the plastic trim.  I also think that your paint work looks in better condition - I've hardly got any rust & none on the wheel arches, but the bonnet has the inevitable small stone chips.

Incidentally, that isn't a standard intercooler behind your front air dam is it?

cheers


no its the EDS intercooler
done a helluva lot of mods to the engine.
But as ever its all work in progress.
got a little bit of rust on the drivers side arch but that will be replaced with a new arch after christmas
fatz

no its the EDS intercooler

I thought so - what's its capacity?  I believe that the std one is a pathetic 1L.
Have you any idea what your turbo is now producing with all the mods that you've done?  Have you had it RR'd, or are you thinking of going to the RR meeting in the New Year.

Stunning looking car m8, i reckon it is one of the nicest i have seen on here. Great work 

I'm sure I read somewhere about Punto headlight lenses (or maybe the whole light unit) being adaptable to Calibras... anyone know about this???

Cheers fella... dont fancy modding the wings, like...!

Its far easier to get a set of projector angle eyes and fit them no real mods to the wireing loom at all if you by decent ones mine cost 145 notes, the only mode i did have to do to the loom was to clip the angle eyes wires into my orginal side light wires piece of piss really as its only a live and an earth
