mkinlen Posted June 24, 2002 Share Posted June 24, 2002 Anyone know where I can get replacement headlight units, either the standard chrome ones or maybe the smaller, matt black ones? Mine got very rusty - I tried derusting and hameriting one but looks a bit d-i-y. Cheers, Mark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mkinlen Posted June 24, 2002 Author Share Posted June 24, 2002 Actually, just had a look at James Whiting and he has both types advertised - however what I really need is this, plus the whole metal mounting that straps onto the fixing on the top of the side of car via the tubing and the two bolts. Can I get the entire units from caterham? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doug phillips Posted June 24, 2002 Share Posted June 24, 2002 This may sound stupid, I have the same problem. What about getting them from Caterham………….. £95 quid from the web site…….. ( I have to fix the wife’s Capri before I order new head lights for the se7en) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Hughes Posted June 25, 2002 Share Posted June 25, 2002 Try Stafford Vehicle Components Web Add - http://www.s-v-c.co.uk/ Got my 5 3/4 bowls from them about £65 with wiring. Believe they are made of brass so no corrosion probs - not too heavy either. John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V7 SLR Posted June 25, 2002 Share Posted June 25, 2002 The "retaining" rings on both of mine rusted terribly, thumbsdown.gif even though the car's only 2 1/2 years old, thumbsdown.gif so I cleaned with with a wire wheel in my drill and resprayed them with Halford matt black paint (primered first) and I'm pretty pleased with the results. thumbsup.gif Probably not as durable as powder coating thumbsdown.gif but it's delayed having to spend 60-70 quid on a new set of lights... thumbsup.gif ... and when I do buy the new lights I'll make sure they are those lovely 5 1/4 inch ones. Mmm yes... thumbsup.gifteeth.gif Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stumpyseven Posted June 25, 2002 Share Posted June 25, 2002 I've just replaced a matt black one from Caterham at a price of £60. This was just for the bowl and retaining rim, it did include all the internal wireing and side light bulb. Stumpy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
