I've got a LC Replica. I've been offered genuine Irmscher smoked rear lights and morette front quad headlights for £250 + p&p, what do you all reckon? I'm guessing a few will say not to mod a 'Lotus Carlton' at all, but I had my heart set on the twin headlights and putting a cold air feed in for track days etc....Opinions please...can try n get a pic of mine if required.
Cheers

If its a perfect replica, then leave it like it is in my opinion.

What engine is it? I would be tempted to buy the morrettes and use them just for track days, although I don't know how easy it is to swap a headlight on a Carlton!

So is that a 'no' to both smoked rear lights AND morettes?

Pics with morrettes? If you have any of a LC, even better, if not just a Carlton will do.
