Jesus!
Tbh I would take a replacement light rather than smashed front end.

That was such a nice clear headlight too!

TCB sell lights at a reasonable price I believe.

Did it survive? I imagine you would have been chasing it down the road if it had!

I believe you can still get just the lens if the rest of the headlight is still ok?

If not Dick does get good ones in every so often, or its TCB or Toyota for new ones.

As Steve said, rather just the headlight than the whole front end!

As for fogs, as a direct replacement, Prius fogs are identical and much cheaper.

It's worth spending the money getting it right.
It's one of the best remember :)

@H1GRM

Gutted for you.
Cannot really add anything to the above.

I was going to suggest same as tricky
Prius fogs.

The truth is and you already know this.
Only a brand new light is going to make the grade.

I guess only the pheasant is more upset than you and the ROC Members.

Sorry to hear about this Greg, as people have said, it could have been a lot worse.  Jolly annoying though all the same.  Think you may need a brand new one as a used one (unless you are very lucky) won't match the other and if you're anything like me, it will bug you each time you look at her if it doesn't match. :(

New headlight and fog ordered from Paul at TCB @Paul@TCB

Headlight £177 Fog £47 plus the dreaded VAT.

At least the GG will be returned to her usual high standard.

Will take the front bumper and bonnet off and have them resprayed to get rid of the growing number of stone chips.

Quote from: H1GRM on October 20, 2019, 20:30Managed to get the front strut brace on today. Needed a little more frunk plastic trimming but looks good. Just need to fit the rubber trim I have bought to finish off the plastic where it has been cut.

So when I finished this last October, I used all new trim clips, supposed to be "easily removable" broke 7 out of 18 getting them out at the weekend ready to take the bumper off for painting and finally the replacement headlight and fog.

Let me know if anyone has used clips to hold the frunk cover in that do actually release!!!

Taking bonnett and bumper for painting today - at last.

Not sure which gen, but I'm sure it was of the same years as ours 2002-2006?

Ordered Friday arrived this morning.

The Goddess under wraps again.

Initial impressions are really good, very soft super fit etc.

Looks a great fit, its a pity their outdoor covers do not rate very highly in the Auto Express awards 2019.

Just had a quick read through this, I think green is my new favourite colour for a roadster. Are they rare? I've only seen a handful of green ones for sale.

Very rare colour in the Uk and spectacular colour in the sunlight

Don't say that, there's a green one 15 minutes away but I promised SWMBO I would wait a few months.


Ardent

Super rare. And the only colour I would swap mine for.

That has to be good advice if you look at S12vea 's CV
