Bought some Morettes when i bought the front bumper from Terry Cowton.
Only came with the outer lamps, no wiring or anything.
But that didn't bother me Wink
So here is where i started.




1st, i sold the opaque ones to chrisd306 and replaced them with a nice set of crystal lamps

Problem with these is they take H4 bulbs and i have some H1 HID's.
So found some plates that fitted in the bulb holder that would hold a H1

and a very nice man made some out of alloy

which are on their way to me at the moment.
Wiring came from 2 very nice 306 Cab club members
which were removed from broken cabriolet headlamps.


Next i ordered these

for the inner lamps.


Needed the bottom brackets bending out the way and then 3 holes drilling through them to bolt them on.
Was a bit stressful but managed to fit them
and ended up with these.


Then went and fitted them to see how they looked.

Which i am very pleased with




HIDs fitted and on


ONE SET OF CRYSTAL MORETTES


Still need to
Tidy the wiring up
Repaint outer cases
Rebuild other unit
Tint indicators

I'm keeping the morettes black so going to smoke them as dark as possible.

Thought about it.
But decided that getting them smoked would look better IMO.

back over the garage today to finish some jobs that needed doing for it's MOT and decided to fit both morettes and covered the indicators with black cloths to see how the front looks.


To say i'm very Happy is a massive understatement!
Bring on Spring Big grin

Whens the GTi6 engine going in there then? Whistle

Did think about colour coding them but decided leaving them black would match the smoked indicators more and looks a bit more aggressive too Wink
Phase 1 bumper was fitted bacause i wanted to do something different, didn't like any aftermarket bumpers and was shown a picture of a phase 2 with a phase 1 bumper on it and thought "I like that" and so i fitted one.

tbh never really liked the ph2-3 bumper as much as the ph1 bumper (so much more aggressive without going ricer body kit) so I'm with you my friend Smile 100%

not too keen on the lights (black crystals ftw!! in my eyes)
but can appreciate a difference (its not mine so i can still spread some love) but black crystals ftw!!

would love to know how your getting on now is she still alive?
