does anyone know where i can get these?

or anyone willing to make some money and make a mould out of one they already have? or give me some tips to make my own?

(maybe some pics of the originals showing where brackets/mounts are?)

thanks

Renault. Think the part number is in the cup workshop manual.

if someone could get me the part number from the workshop manual that would be great?

in fact anyone who can sell/give me a copy of the workshop manual would be a legend!

get northy to post the part number for the cup manual, then you can go in to renault an order the cup manual :wink:

with that you can find out the part number for the blanking plates, then you can get those from renault as well :wink:

I tried getting hold of these "cup racer headlight blanks" from the Danish Renault Sport distributor.
He said they were no longer available.

Would love to have a set though!

decided to leave the indicator alone, going to fit this to an old headlight in place of the glass, then drill a hole in it for my cold air feed

its my first time using fibreglass :oops: messy stuff! :lol:

the original cup racers ran a oil catch pan on the drivers headlight blank.

They are just fiberglass covers - mine are a bit tatty now

cheers for the comments guys :D

2 live - yeh i was thinking of using a rectangular style duct like the mk2 cup cars

northy - think i'm only doing the passenger headlight, although if i get bored i might do the other one, purely for aesthetics really
