Styling fly -eye kit

[matt baillie]

Few questions on the fly-eye kit for my front headlights , does anyone have a picture they could show me of theirs ? what shade they went and what size they got? Still unsure if i want to get it or not ? Also do the police give you hassel because of it ?

They are legal, so no trouble from police! Ive had mine on for just over a year and had no probs, i have a mk2 punto though so dont have a picture of a grande. I went for the darkest shade of black.

You will have problems with the new MOT regs as your not allowed to tint/cover the headlights

So really they are now illegal

i thought film and tint was in new regs but i cant find it now http://www.motinfo.gov.uk/htdocs/m4s01000001.htm

says its only a fail if "output is well below that
required to illuminate the road"

 

[matt baillie]

Still none with a picture?

Front and Rear Position lamps and Registration Plate Lamps...

Reason for rejection (i.e. failure)
...
3. An obligatory lamp
a. missing, insecure, obviously incorrectly positioned or does not face to the front or rear as appropriate

b. inoperative or less than 50% of the light sources illuminating

c. obscured so that less than 50% of the lamp illuminating surface is visible from the front or rear as appropriate

d. not visible from a reasonable distance due to excessive damage, deterioration, or having products on the lens or light source

 

[dave]

that still dont say its an automatic fail, depends what tester calls a reasonable distance

 

[Punto.Power]

The only change made to the headlight regulations are ''products on the lense that excessively reduce the lights colour or intensity.'' the fly eye stops very little light.

They also come with the legality certificate from vosa if theres any problems anyway.

I Bought the Black 2 and i think 45cm by 120cm in size and is just enough to cover the front lights and leave possibly enough to do fogs too if you cut carefully

Haven't seen your car since the vinyl has been done. That looks fantastic!

 

[Mayatt]

That was about 2 yrs ago It was painted and has all been resprayed white again now

 

[lukemortlock7]

Oooh right I see! Have you decided to keep the bonnet bra or is that gone now?

 

[Mayatt]

I've got it still they're only only meant to be occasional. Cars for sale now though need something bigger.
