Can't you just mount a normal light in series but place it inside the body work. This will slow the exterior bulb and give your engine a disco experience whenever you turn a corner?

Yes I'd considered that as well, but in parallel. I'm not totally happy with the front indicators anyway. They have a nice low profile but don't reflect in the headlights enough. I have obtained some small lenses and some 21w capless bulbs so may end up incandescent rather than led anyway.

Exhausted?
Always wanted to do this:
http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d6.../DSCF1779a.jpg ever since i had a Lotus Seven S1 with similar. But real. http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d6.../DSCF1777a.jpg Should fool the casual observer: http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d6.../DSCF1778a.jpg and will all be in matt black of course. |
And would be quite easy to double up.
|
Needs to match the bore on the real pipes. Looks a bit like a hoover adaptor in the smaller size. love the idea though and better than my attempts at fake side pipes
|
Would have made it larger but used the pipe I had lying about in the garage and didn't want it to be too heavy an ornament either.
|
Not meant as criticism, perhaps just bigger tubes at the end next to the real pipe?

More Flash
The original front indicators with their bright LED elements were very neat but just didn't seem prominent enough for everyday driving.
So I bought these: http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d6.../DSCF1805b.jpg they are incandescent but still low wattage so I've left the ballast resistors in circuit. For 2014, I see that Bruce has mounted repeaters on the front edge of the wheel arch - could be a home for my now redundant ones. http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d6...SFantuzzi1.jpg |
Did you mention his stripes look wrong?

2014 Historic Specials day 10 August Burford, Oxon.
Pretty damp down at the Cotswold Wildlife Park today so not a great turnout...

Still not heard from the DVLA but the insurance company called today and they are dumping me with 7 days notice- "we don't insure modified cars".

Amanda Price is now on my Christmas card list...
http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d6...gistration.jpg Received today. |
And it's now correct on the DVLA Enquiry database:
http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d6...vlaenquiry.jpg using Vehicle Registration Mark "T210YHO" Vehicle Make If the make does not appear in this list, select 'Other' and complete the text box below. "Other" ...or other make(only if you selected 'Other' above) "Z300S BARCHETTA" |
Wow, so no inspection any more then, just fill in a form?

TBH, I think the detailed receipt from Chris swung it with wording like "Supply ... kit to fit BMW Z3" and "To fit the above to customer supplied BMW Z3 Reg. No. T210 YHO..." That made it quite clear that it was only body panels that were involved without modification to chassis, drive train or suspension. My pics were taken with the wire wheels fitted. |
Getting mine re-registered again!!!
As it stands, mine is a replica. Probably of yours Ian :-) |
