Let me be perfectly clear...

Post by moggy »

Any ideas where I can buy a set of these clear lenses for a 911?

I'm just after the glass.

Cheers

I have some originals I think. In fact I think I have a complete pair of everything in your picture.
I will check tonight.

Are the lens any different to the VW Beetle US spec ones? Fitting 911 lens to Beetles was an option so surely vice versa?

I got some Hella clear ones off German EBay which were really good.

I bought some VW reports ones that were such shocking quality I didn't even feel I could sell them on

Some aftermarket VW stuff is utterly shite, but I've rarely had poor quality stuff from Machine 7. And never have I had anything bad from Deimos. Although I'm not sure if they're still on the go.

The originals have the raised lettering on the outside.

I assume originality is not an issue if these are going on the electric 911.

Thanks guys. Looks like Machine 7 have them in stock, although the price of them at £17 each suggests the quality might not be great, but I'll see what they are like when they arrive. If they aren't up to scratch they'll go back and I'll get them somewhere else.

I'll post a photo of them here when they're done. Below is an image of the difference from the drivers seat.
