You can get reproduction 60s lights from ecas or 2cvparts. Not that much difference in price from what I've paid in markets in Europe really.

Old lights or not, this rear panel will still spoil the back of the car.

I like the front
maybe make the headlightbar a bit smaller

but fuckme!! Shocked the back is with the bumper even uglyer then without
it makes it sticking out even more and makes the hiddious part look way bigger
but it's a great bumper that'a fact Very Happy

but, that just an opion
I like what your doing Wink

good job! it looks quite nice! i like the stance like this but is it driveable? maybe you can put 135/80 tyres at the front, this will help the clearance. the tyres look like they need changing anyway Razz

i like the rear bumper better than the black front one.
i hope you are going to paint the whole car to tie it al together?

and maybe you can remove the black spacer from the rear lights to don't let them stick out so much? this is quite easy to do, not much modifycation needed.

Yes i have two new tyres bought but there 125's,the same as what is on the front already, 135's would be bigger so there would be more rubbing?? and yes i have drove it a little bit,but with weight in the car,the wheels are rubbing and burning paint off the top of the wings and what do you mean by paint the whole car to tie it altogether?
and the rear lights how would you do that?
