Title: Supermirafiori fog light grill Post by: Gremlino on December 24, 2009, 11:31:35 PM A collector of all cars Italian has found an optional extra for the series 3.
Its for sale if anyone is interested, it takes him a few days to reply when I contact him as his storage barn is a bit like the warehouse at the end of 'Raiders of the lost Ark' and he loses himself in there for days :D. The condition is good but grubby/dusty, the brackets have a light surface rust but are sound and the fog lights are not cloudy or blown. I have no idea how much he wants for it but it wont be silly.

Unless this one was cleaned up to it's best presentation, it's hard to see it realising much. They were not a great design, aesthetically speaking, from the outset, in my opinion.
Here is another additional headlight option - Hideous to my eyes and it completly ruins the subdued agreesion of the 131 look. :) (http://i766.photobucket.com/albums/xx305/kev132/img060.jpg) Title: Re: Supermirafiori fog light grill Post by: mirko131 on December 28, 2009, 07:20:18 PM Very interesting you re catalogo of Lester , i think improbabily take in this time , WOW ::)

They were not a great design, aesthetically speaking, from the outset I know what you mean Kev they're an original option but not very pretty, this one would clean up well.

After a while it might annoy, especially where you are striving for originality. :) Title: Re: Supermirafiori fog light grill Post by: brensport on December 29, 2009, 11:01:25 AM just a taught Kev i have mixed feelings on them
Title: Re: Supermirafiori fog light grill Post by: sid131 on December 29, 2009, 02:03:49 PM i think that the stripes suit the orange car & maby the silver colour but i wouldnt like them on the grey car, as for the tailblazer i wouldnt fit it now either, i was bought the one on ebay just so i can take some pics of it on my car when its finished with a set of FIB 1588 no plates, i dont have any good pics of fib, yes mad i know ;D ;D ;D
same goes for the louvre not sure about it either now that i got the glass tinted & i have a new louver for the rusty lady & dont warm to it now, but at least i am looking at it & not for it, same as the roof spoiler (thanks again Kev) & both types of boot spoiler, spoiled or what?? better than ciggies any day ;) ;) ;) Title: Re: Supermirafiori fog light grill Post by: kev131 on December 29, 2009, 04:59:17 PM No need for thanks Nick - You really really wanted it at the time and paid me well for it- although it's a shame now if it's no longer part of your plans... :-[ Hang on to it though - They are quite rare now.
I've regularly toyed with the idea of removing my boot spoiler - I prefer the clean tail look such as on Theo's and Mike's cars so I'm thinking of painting a secondhand boot lid to fit same as a replacement, while keeping the original for when I invariably change my mind again in the future! ::) Anyone got a new boot lid for sale before I salvage my secondhand one..? :) |
