We grafted some Datsun ones onto our AlfaSud once. Maybe 180B????

Bit off here, bit off there, 4 screws into the panel and we had light! (a novel idea for any Alfa)

we used to ahve a datto 1600, it has 4 headlights as well.

ive considered doing this to a mini before as well, i did a computer image (in paint...) which i have since lost, but it always looked kinda silly.

but that orange clubby with the golf lights looks amazing! really cool an different. i dont much like the square lights. although i dont mind that danish mini with 4 lights.

go for it :D then do it on mine as well :lol:

edit. they arent golf lights they are smething else. i read the website, but i cant remember. but i still really like it :mrgreen:

I've seen it done by modifying the standard grille and utilising extra standard headlight surrounds.

Don't know if has been photoshopped. I scanned that straight out of the mag and that was the only pic they had of it.

In the 80's if you had a Holden "Street Machine" you'd replace the twins with the Fairmont XC Rectangular Headlights. :oops:

I'm not saying I like it.[/img]

Mazda B2000 headlights (generic rectangular ones , can't remember the size but thats what I swiped them from) looked alright in a mock up on my first clubbie but I didn't like it enough to make them permanent .

I did it years back by popping a pair of Cibie Oscar driving lights beside the regular headlights, which had Cibie halogen inserts. 400w of high beam was pretty good for those days... I had a couple of shots at tidying up the trim around the driving lights. To start with I retained the original headlight trim and tried to graft in another one to cover the driving light. That didn't work so well. In the end I just cut a piece from sheet aluminium that covered both lights, bent the edges for some strength and rivetted that to a shortened clubby grille.

Bill & Ben won't be happy then! :x

I have seen that as a kit in the UK. I have a feeling it is a period item, and worth BIG BUX now. There might be repro's of them now though. Looks good IMHO.

There was a black 'pram back' Clubby in Miniworld a while back. I have the issue somewhere but can't be bother to find it, also none of my old Miniworlkds have covers, they all fell appart. :(

It was built by Wood and Pickett and looked awesome.

The orange one dose look good but I want polished alloy sourounds not mat black plastic :?
I think a trip to the wreckers or keep an eye out on the roads and in car parks until I can find exactly what I'm after.
