Default Wankers!

why the hell wont these fit a compact? Bastards! Now they sell these for £189.99! but when it comes too the compact version they rev the price up to £349.99 WITHOUT corer markers!

http://www.espdesign.co.uk/esp.store...N/Product/9136

Because i read earlier that all headlights are the same!
now is it just the case of changing the corner markers?

i'm going to have to correct my previous post; headlights are the same ONLY in the US. i would imagine that the non-ti specific lights would fit, but it's more a matter of regulation than mechanics.

see this thread: http://www.318ti.org/forum/showthread.php?t=5143

Saying that the headlights won’t fit the compact means that they won’t fit the sedan either. The ti uses the same parts as the sedan from the A-pillar forward. I'm guessing that it must have something to do with the side markers, which may be designed for the coupe. Although it does mention that they are not included....Hell, who knows, just save yourself the guesswork and go with www.umnitza.com

From what I've been told its not that they won't fit, the problem is that the plugs on the wires for the head lamps on the compact are different to the coupe / saloon. (Don't know if this applies to USA compacts)

The one for £349.99 which I believe are the Hella ones will also fit the coupe / saloon but when you fit them to the compact you have to use the the wire / plug adaptors which come with them.

There's a guy on one of the UK forums who has fitted coupe / saloon head lamps to his compact. He had to cut off the plugs / connectors and solder on the coupe / saloon ones.

This rear spoiler is cool. I wonder if we can get it here in the states.
