Ditching the light surrounds

[110Weasel]

Has anybody just ditched the plastic headlight surrounds - and if so does it look ok or are there loads of odd holes? My Military never had them, and that looked fine, but then it was a little less refined all round...

Currently considering either trying to match them to the body colour or lob them in the bin, so any pictures would be good!

My ex-mod 110 does not have the light covers. I've thought about adding them.

looks far better with contrasting surround imo...... its part of the defender look.

if its the stage 1 look you want then fair enough.

But then its potato - potatoe. i like coloured lensed lights - most folk fit them god awful chavtastic clear ones

I'm going to try and ditch mine and fit series bezels in satin black

Having only had militaries before I've never had them so tend to find them a bit... plasticy... but now faced with a respray I'm not sure whether to try and colour match them or just ditch them as I don't really want yards of black plastic on the front of my nice Welsh Grey / White 110.

(I like my indicators orange too Top Drive!)

And I love the Airforce Yellow Sp00k... seriously considered going that way but couldn't bring myself to 'fake' it!

I think they look slightly more friendly without, with is a touch more aggressive.

I agree - I like the idea of the series / Stage 1 bezels too Richard, although I can't see any anywhere!

keep an eye open on ebay i didn't have to wait long to find some at a sensible price having the bezels also make it a little longer to nick a head light rather than just one screw

My 90 has body-coloured light surrounds and I prefer the look to black ones. You could always fit the headlight bezels from a series 3 to fill in the gap.

Gone for this look on my ex-MOD 90, the plastic has all gone but it is not quite as bare as just fitting the surrounds.

Lovely stuff, thanks Elan23 and Litch - that's exactly what I'm after! They work nicely with your grille too Litch, good work.

Grill & surrounds are Nakatanenga.

Thought I recognised the grille (just ordered a silver one!), I hadn't spotted the surrounds though! Vey tidy!

That does look good.
