Perhaps they didn't want the powerful LED FL headlights!

You are partly correct. It is a Pre-FL and FL bumper hybrid.

I don't like the FL headlights (no offence) and wanted to do something that is different and has never been done before (at least not to my knowledge).

GOOD for you I like it not sure about the wheels however, each to his/her choice though.

Yep. There's still some aligment to do with them as they are pointing slightly too much down and it now beeps for even speedbumps if speed is low enough.

Did not have the money for 20" OZ wheels so those 3-piece RH's with Radinox lips will have to do for now.

I was advised not to fit 20" wheels or 245 section tyres to the Octy so be careful.

Mucky 245 at Caernarfon castle after a weeks family holiday in Wales. 

 

 

how did you remove the middle section of the headlight? and retain the PFL grill as well?

Picked up today...... 

 

Lots to do, tinted windows, black grill surround, front spoiler, rear defuses, de-badge and add black badges

A fun set just fitted Today. So far very interesting, heavy raining and cold, but what was needed is dead dry and hot. We'll see in the days to come.

As i said on an earlier post the upper part of the bumper is PFL and the lower is FL. It's cut in half righ about in middle and the headlight washers are from PFL as FL washers are too high and they do not fit under the headlights. If you are interested in more details, we can continue this with PM so this thread is not full of offtopic.

Yours is only the third 17 plate FL car i've seen on here, granted lots of people cover up their plates, they must have something to hide?
