Hi guys

Is this salvageable? Ordered a spare set but arrived with some cracks at the edge.

Seems small but glaring to me.

Thought of wrapping it in clear film then spraying the sides to hide it.

any ideas on how i can fix this? it will never be the same again right? tempted to throw this set away sighs.

If you were REALLY keen you could probably hide it BUT it will never look the same.... So what happened to the original set? I assume these are the replacements?

Hi Nizmo, this was supposed to be the replacement unfortunately.

Geeteetee, the original set is just very very yellow inside and out, with the left light going off after leaving it on for too long.

is it possible to clean up the original headlights and swap the covers?

Sorry I read it wrong.

Sounds like your current ones are UV damaged (faded yellow). There are some restore kits out there. You can even try toothpaste, but I think you'll need to sand+polish (from memory, so don't hold it against me).

Post pictures of your current headlights?

      You should have got a Maine Coone then. Only thing is they're big. But so cool, and just like a dog. Or, just get yourself a high performance dog. That'll teach you for wanting Parkour indoors 😛

      Are you thinking of Bens R32? I don't remember if his went through the bonnet itself, but it went through the chassis rail. Brad (RISKIN) bought it, and turned it into a track car. It's funny how anti people are of Jim Berry now. I remember when I pulled mine out (during an engine change) and inspected it and found it cracking badly. At that point in time so many people were even on SAU, were so pro Jim Berry, and that was after Bens GTR exploded his quite publically.

      That's one of the reasons I got that breed, they look weird, the other reasons are they small, they are very vocal, and run around like they are on crack, I didn't want a breed that just sits around, these two are like kids on red cordial  My daughter has one, and it's a laugh riot, constantly doing Parkour around the house, sits on her shoulder, plays catch, and constantly runs around the house taking turns chasing the dog around, her Bermese though, just lays around with constant bitch face, and just looks on in utter disgust at the cat and dog playing together

      I'm getting PTSD flashbacks seeing that name again.  With my turbo swift, I got 1,500km of street use on a Jim Berry clutch before it exploded and took out my input shaft with it.
