Spotlights - to keep or not?

[jimbo]

I've now got a set of chrome bumpers (and over-riders) to put on my pre-facelift Capri to replace the colour-coded ones that are on at present.

 

Here is how it looks at the moment.

 

 

The question is: Should I keep the spotlights when I put the chrome bumpers/over-riders on, or will it look too busy?

 

I should point out that, like the rest of the car, the bumpers are in reasonable condition, but not mint. (i.e. I'm not planning on ruining a £150 bumper)

 

Your thoughts are encouraged and welcomed

 

Cheers,

Jim

I like your "out of the box" thinking, but I'm a chrome slut.

oh dear, i sence a personal title coming along now

 

if you like the chrome then def swap the red one for a chrome one, the colour coded one ruins the car imo

 

and as for the spots, if it was mine i would get shut of them, but at the end of the day, your car, your choice!

[rsdaz]

imo it will look better without the spots.

With, but not those particular ones, maybe those squarish ones found on 3000Es

Oooh! Hadn't considered that

 

You mean like this?

 

 

That's save me wiring the flashers back to the light units too

 

Looks like they fix to the front panel?

[Mr2Caps]

I like that! Looks good! You got a chrome grille to go with the bumpers? Would look good! If not would say no spots! but only my opinion!

[Mk2Jo]

Get em off ..... although, those little square ones look quite good

chome bumper, no spots... love the capri jimbo

[jimbo]

Thanks for all the nice comments guys, and the suggestions of course.

 

I think that I gonna go with something like this....

 

 

with the square spots (that's because I'm assuming that the full beams on this car will be sh!te )

 

Does anyone know, what make model these spots are, or if there are simliar size/ztyle spots available?

[radjay mk1]

im sure i have a pair that came on my escort.

i shall have a look in the garage 2morrow 4 u

[jimbo]

Cheers Jay.....

[Grizzley Dell]

those spots are to small. i agree with the black bumper look bot a big pair of cibies would look sweet, nice capri, paint looks great.

[Mrs O/H/C]

Not the spots you have on atm...maybe the square ones.

 

Whichever you decide..chrome bumper will make it look awesome
