Hey all can anyone suggest where I could get some sporting front lights and would they simply be a straight swap on a 59 gp? I did want abarth ones but dont wanna mess about with swapping wires out ect gettin tired of lookin at my standard ones

Lol ive spotted some on ebay but there sold seperate at about 50 a side unless you do a better deal 
if youget abarths that is do they just go in with no mods to wiring? If only I could find someone whod do a trade for mine for some sporting ones lol

are you after the Evo Abarth or the S2 Abarth headlights? from what I can tell the S2's should just plug in, don't see why they would change the plugs but my Sporting's should plug straight in on yours, just can't find some decent priced Abarths that aren't damaged. Got offered some by a lad selling his M-Jet for £50 but one of the brackets had snapped and the light rocked about lol
Id sell mine on a little less of what I pay for Abarths as the o/s light has a bit of cracking in it, condition it was when I bought the car but it doesnt affect how they operate, just noticable if you know its there.

S1's are late 2005 to 2008 i think and S2's are 2008 to 2010. Easiest way to tell is Blue badge (S1) / Red badge (S2)
Mine's S2 being '09 plate
I've heard of a few folk on here taking the lens out and painting the surround but depends how good the finish would be and how long it would last, you got colour coding in mind?

Mines an s2 then (59 plate) and I dont no what colour since my interior is currently spiderman and numberplate recesses are blue could maybe make em look like sporting lights id need heat resistant paint wouldnt I?
Would be the best idea lol, they're little bulbs but they kick out some heat, what colour's your GP?

Black bit filthy atm needs a clean when I can get round to it lol if you can find my gallery ive got pics in there of it or look for my spiderman theme in the threads

hmm...i were thinking if it were a blue car you could find a matching colour you could paint them blue but i suppose you could match to the blue you have, otherwise black would be the way to go but originality is better.
OP
OP
The blue on the car is bright so would need like a light light blue like baby blue which in turn would make it mis match with the rest could always go black but thats what abarth lights are for lol its hard to find a colour to match plus it wouldnt stand out black on black itd just blend in with the car shame they dont do a spiderman spray on paint haha

Ah nice one mate im curious to look at white all depends if itd match what ive done to the car
I think the S2 lights are just Abarths no difference at all I believe
S2's are grey and Abarth's are black, got front bumper vinyled so ideally want the black to match.
Get me a link I want to see
