Corrado Foglight Protectors

[davebirl 0]

After 4 years of Corrado Ownership I have bought 4 sets of Foglights due to stone chips and cracks. That is almost 1000 euros of foglights! I have made up these foglight protectors and want to get some opinions please.

 

 

Using clear suction cups with brass thumbs screws as below.

 

 

I have fixed them to 8mm polycarbonate cut in the shape of the foglight and indicator using a broken foglight housing as below. The polycorbonate is crystal clear and will not chip or dull like perspex.

 

 

 

The idea is you can afix these on long journeys and remove easily on arrival. The suction cups are very very strong and are difficult to just pull off so they will not fall off when travelling.

 

 

 

What do you guys think?

Personally, I LOVE that idea, I really do, and specifically what you've done with it. Any plans on you selling them?

sure I could sell 'em but what are they worth?

I was the same but indicators were my problem 3 n/s and 2 o/s in 4 years

 

so i came up with this mounted on suction cups like your's but with a blob of clear silicon for extra hold leave mine on all the time

 

 

less visable from farther away

 

 

 

if you could shortern the mounts on your's so they sit flush with the bumper you would sell loads on here why not go into production 8)

Lol, well how much does it cost you to make? Cost of parts plus your time? Do you want to make a profit on them? Give us an idea of how much you might be thinking?

i reckon that you should get some made up Dave

 

but with a silver fixing instead might look better 8)

Personally, I'd prefer to use Lamin-X personally.

 

I'm speaking personally here.

what I thought was good about the suction cup idea is that its so easy to reverse. 2 secs pop then on and 2 sec pull them off again.

What will they be like at 100mph?

[davebirl 0]

Well they stay on already at 80mph in the driving rain so i reckon 100mph is no bother.

They may well stay on at that speed, but will they survive if hit with a stone at that speed? Though they would still take the impact so should work well. They do sit a bit far out though, imo.

Thanks for all the comments guys. I reckon I need to get them to sit more flush to the bumper. Back to the drawing board! :)
