Dave Eastwood (Gadgetman) - Club Chairman Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 Not sure if the thread title is a typo? If "real" = rear, then they're a (WF) factory supplied item. (But they're carbon effect, not real carbon) Playskool and others do a slightly differently styled double light pod for the rear wings and an identical (?) round single light pod for the fog and for the reverse lights, just like Westfield's, these are a carbon effect plastic. (ABS if memory serves). I'm not aware of anyone doing them in genuine carbon fibre. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoffrey Carter (Buttercup) Posted October 1, 2014 Author Share Posted October 1, 2014 Hi chaps.It is me who has spelt it wrong. It should say REAR.I will edit it tonight.I spoke with WSC for a price for the carbon style housings and the bulbs and it was £170, but it is just over £180.00 on their website for the rear light housings including the reverse light and fog lights. The fog light and reversing light on the website is £26.00 each and I thought I would have had a saving of around 50 pounds from the price of the set and not just over a ten pounds.It is the carbon effect rear pods that house the rear and turning signal lights I am after. I have looked at the cheaper ones but like the look of how the westfield ones tuck into the bodywork. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peet Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 There is a supplier that make them in a figure 8 sort of shape or bolt on bits do normal square carbon effect ones. Both need trimming to angle right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blue ass fly Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 Playskool had some untrimmed ones They can be trimmed to fit the curve of the rear tub like westfield do as they are much deeper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
