Default pretty good lookin' conversion....like the yellow lenses too!

It's a euro car, of course! But I like what they did with it and they did a pretty damn good job on those rear wheel wells too! i love those yellow fog lenses. Weren't they stock on the '88 Club Sports.

A few items I'd change, but it'd be a good starter if it were in the U.S.

those rear arches look like crap, they dont match the lines on the front of the car at all.

You know what, after looking at it again, I think your right. They look like crap!

But I still like the fog lenses, though. Very Euro looking, considering it is in Europe, I guess.

Minor, but the rear deck lid is all jacked up. He needs a new upper latch tongue.

It's probably the old French ones. In the old days, France required these lights to be yellow. That was before the EU harmonized the vehicle specifications...

If anyone wants yellow fog lights the simple way:

I've used their clear film for my extra driving lights.
They claim the endurance race teams use their yellow film to get the yellow fog look.

Like how the yellow conversion on this car also tinted the side plastic fill/reflector panels.

There was a set of the yellow fogs on ebay not too long ago, including the yellow plastic trim bits. I really wanted 'em, but one of the lenses was cracked. The add indicated they were one-time French market spec (as Nicole mentioned)...so it must be true
