Hi Guys

Looking for a nearside headlight pod for my Elite resto - mine appears to be twisted. At least I hope it's the pod and not the body!!

Thanks

Pete

Didn't we talk about these earlier and identify different designs across the range. Have you got the correct version?

Yep - defo the correct item. Either the pod is distorted or the body. I'll check the body tomorrow - if it's out it's because I didn't pay enough attention when prepping for paint :roll:. I can easily re-profile the pod upper surface if I need to - just need to build up some fibreglass in the right area and get it re-painted, but I thought I'd try another pod first.

I know its an obvious answer but can Lotusbits lend you a pod? I don't think they would mind with the money you have spent there. Sure if you spoke to Dave he would sort one out for you.

Anyway - how about some current pictures of where your project is up to - haven't seen any for a while and you know I like a picture.

Yep - a trip to Lotusbits may be on the cards. I'm working on lots of bits at once at the moment - so very little progress on any! But - over the next few weeks I think I'll have some more photos to share - maybe! :roll:

The pod thing is interesting. Our crossover car (85 MY) definitely has one incorrect pod. It's pretty much unadjustable because of it. Need to get one myself at some point.
