Damdy-Cash Posted November 2, 2009 Share Posted November 2, 2009 Update 06,02,2010: Bad message: the UK inserts doesn't fit to the BB headlights, no reason do go ahead with this bulk buy. Good message: look to my today’s post in this thread... Hi my Carbonitys infected mates, this BB is about these carbon headlights pic 1 pic 2. I have now received the quote for the headlights. The Euro prices are for one, without headlight insert. P&P need to be sorted later, after we have a clear picture how many are interested. I have used the exchange rate as at 2/11/09 so we may need to adjust that later. from 1-9 sets: € 113,- = 104 P Pcs/ 208 P per set from 10 sets: € 105,- = 95 P Pcs/ 190 P per set from 15 sets: € 100,- = 90 P Pcs/ 180 per set from 20 sets: € 95,- = 86 P Pcs/ 172 per set Additional to that you may would need a set of mounts, the standard price for a set is 15€ (13,55 P). I’m quiet sure he will offer us a better price if we have the numbers of interested people together. P&P needs to be clarified later on as well, I will update this post. I have got now the detailed measurements from SVC and it looks pretty much straight forward with these ones. After I have a better understanding how many people are interested I will order a set and sort out the last details. You would need to mount theses lenses in any case with some silicone into the rim of the headlight. For information’s regarding light output please see here. I don’t care for now how we handle the postage to any of you etc. We can use the GONADS network to distribute them as has been done before. Lets see how that sounds to you.

I reply to every thread Posted November 12, 2009 Share Posted November 12, 2009 Volker - I'm a little confused - you say The Euro prices are for one, without headlight insert. and then you say from 1-9 sets: € 113,- = 104 P Pcs/ 208 P per set So it's £208 a set plus the mounts (X2) plus the lamp units themselves? Sorry if I'm being daft and thanks for your efforts Edited by - AVES on 12 Nov 2009 11:40:36 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I reply to every thread Posted November 12, 2009 Share Posted November 12, 2009 And is there any possibility of them being made without the mounting lugs? If there is then surely that would work betther for fitting to a Caterham? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damdy-Cash Posted November 12, 2009 Author Share Posted November 12, 2009 So it's £208 a set plus the mounts (X2) plus the lamp units themselves? Sorry if I'm being daft and thanks for your effortsthumbs up you are right with the lights and lamp units but need only 1x the mounts as that is for a pair, sorry for the confusion And is there any possibility of them being made without the mounting lugs? If there is then surely that would work betther for fitting to a Caterham? Would not expect problems here and will clarify, please just help me how you would fit them alternatively? And with the loom hole undrilled? Again should be not a problems and will clarify With EU LHD lamps added to my points to clear cheers Volker German Sevener in Scotland Edited by - Damdy-Cash on 12 Nov 2009 22:35:22 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damdy-Cash Posted February 6, 2010 Author Share Posted February 6, 2010 Hi, after ages some update. Sorry that it has taken that long but I think in the end all went very fine. But step by step. Bad message: The UK inserts from first post doesn't fit in to the CF headlight from first post ☹️. I was very pleased by the quality etc, but anyway it doesn't work. Good message: Just 2 week ago I have found another CF light on eBay and couldn't resist buying it. Delivery was very fast. Pic from the ebay listing here. Some taken by me here herehere and the ring with the SVC insert from post one here. The insert comes not with the shells. The quality is quiet good even if there are some smaller areas where it is not absolute perfect. I would say pretty solid craftmans work. For me its perfect fine and another nice thing is that the upper part from the mounts is already integrated and it looks like the lower part from the CC one should do the job. I can not confirm yet because I will mount them in the next days. The best part comes now: The price for the set is 130 Pound excl. P&P (6,50)!! I’m in contact with the guy, maybe he can do a special price for BC’ler if we avoid ebay costs but tbh I think that is already a damn fair price! eBay listing here Cheers Volker German Sevener in Scotland Edited by - Damdy-Cash on 15 Feb 2010 17:46:46 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damdy-Cash Posted February 7, 2010 Author Share Posted February 7, 2010 next update: He has confirmed 120 + P&P outside eBay, Paypal or check is fine, 10 days wait for cheque clearance. He will make them to order and needs 2 days average to produce them. email is jockmcnicol (at) hotmail.com As it will disappear in some days the text from the ebay listing: These are beautifully made real carbon headlamp shells to replace metal ones for the kitcar enthusiast. size is 5/3/4". you must transfer your original fittings to my lamps. ie , drill & pot rivet also use Sikaflex sealant. NOW, pleeeeezz do not underestimate this product. UNLIKE OTHER SELLERS I did not buy this item on the cheap to chance a quick profit. I work hard for YOU to enhance your cars looks because I like doing it as a hobby. I might make one pair a week, or maybe 3 in a month, it depends on how I feel. So, what I am saying this is a hard item to get boys especially with limited availability of carbon on the market, so come on lads, lets get that car of yours looking good for the summer. For overseas post, I will let you know the final cost before dispatch. One point from him re screwing the rings to the shells I have had feedback from previous peeps on this, they use 2 screws and a little SILKOFIX as added insurance. And some more pics from my progress. here and here taped to get the lenses sikaflex trough the ring and the result here. aluminium holder with threaded rivnut here before and here after. I have added some window sealing (is that right?) to give the ring more stability. And now they are ready to go here here. As I will lower the brackets as well that will be the job for next weekend. cheers Volker German Sevener in Scotland Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damdy-Cash Posted February 15, 2010 Author Share Posted February 15, 2010 job done, even if I feel that I'm chating with myself. here here here No feed back translate ususal into no interest at all, right? cheers Volker German Sevener in Scotland Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davedlr Posted February 16, 2010 Share Posted February 16, 2010 Cheers for your perseverance on this. I'm going to get hold of a pair of these - I'm now wondering whether to get the light units from SVC or some I've found from eBay from a seller called "Powerful UK"?

brucehc Posted February 24, 2010 Share Posted February 24, 2010 not really related to this, but I've just bought some lights from SVC (I like shiny ones so I can see the road dissapearing, behind me!) and they were very helpful indeed. Proper customer service, good turn around and very accommodating. Edited by - brucehc on 24 Feb 2010 18:58:26 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davedlr Posted March 2, 2010 Share Posted March 2, 2010 Thanks Bruce - I ended up buying 5.75" inserts to go in the carbon shells from SVC, as I knew that they fitted (thanks to Volker) and the wiring should be a straight swap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richard smith Posted March 4, 2010 Share Posted March 4, 2010 I have also bought these shells plus SVC inserts. Shells are not perfect, but good enough for me. Especially at this price. I will be assembling this weekend. Thanks Volker for your research and instructions/photos. Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
