Morning all,

I'm now offering a headlight refurb and colourcoding service, alot of coupe lights are now cloudy, yellow and have lacquer peel the varying extents

I'll work it like this, i'll refurb and colourcode a set (if colourcoding is wanted), and post these too you, then once these are recieved and fitted by yourself, you post back your old lights, easy peasy

Some piccys below of the results...







Set ready to go....please PM me for further details!

cheers !

Rich

Just to say all,

I have Steel Grey, LE Anthracite and Scotts Green colours, and Matt Black in stock so these can be turned around quickly...

Excellent offer really for those who can't or don't want to risk it ourselves!

Thanks Sedicivalvole, I was really chuffed with mine when I did them....

Im sure others will be happy with the service too, with new lights at £200+ each , I think its a helpful service, it really freshens up the front end.

The addition of colour coded inners really helps the front end IMO, although this is personal taste I guess...

You forgot to mention how much it costs.

I have broken it down into 2 prices -

£60 for a outer lens refurb, this included postage back to you.

£100 for outer lens refurb and colour coded inners, again postage included back to you.

These prices are based on you sending me your old lights once the new ones are received and fitted.

I have afew sets in stock, so i'll spray these to order, and send them too you, once completed.

Opinions on the prices would be much appreciated...

Cheers

Anyone?

Im getting alot of PM's inquiring about the service, but few orders, so if people think the price is an issue it would be usefull to know opinions

Considering the level of work involved, i'd say the prices sound quite reasonable.
You'll be getting an order from myself shortly.

Got mine Rich thanks, but haven't had time to inspect them yet - as for price i think compared to new (obviously) or the effort involved it's a bargain!

Edit - now opened and inspected and all i can say is, what a brillaint job!! Can't wait to get these on my Plus and be able to actually see where i'm going this winter

Cheers Rich, highly recommended

Glad your happy Steve! and thanks for the feedback

I found my lights were much better after the refurb, the light seemed to travel much further, I do have HIDs though !

So thats one happy customer so far...

any photos of steve's set ? did you colour code them steve ?

No Nis, just standard - i can email you some pics if you give me your email if Rich hasn't got any

email them to me steve and i will upload them for you!!

marco@autolusso.co.uk

Just to keep all updated...its unlikey i'll be continuing this service into the future due to a likely change of job, i'll simply not have time....

...assuming I work a months notice etc etc, i'll prob only be able to offer this service for another few weeks...



ps - here's a pic of steves lights, one on the right was 85% done, the left untouched....

just like to add some pics of mine that rich has done for me cant fault them thier like new. The lenses are crystal clear the guy is a legend

Yep i agree with Simon - shame he's probs not able to carry on, the difference is literally night and day

Good job Rich, and thanks very much

RICH, you have a PM,

Tim

Glad your happy Simon, they look great, even if I do say so myself !!

Responded!!

My order is progressing....can't wait!

No colour-coding though

Anyone heard of RichB in the last 3 days? Sent some money to him but no acknowledgement

Howdy, manic weekend, weddings, visiting family etc... but back in the world now!

Edinburgh - PM'd...

Nae bother, another loose end tied up

Hi all, I will soon have a refurbished set of "LE" headlights for sale.

These are completley refurbed, resprayed LE inners using Grigio Titanio 613/A, outer & inner lense cleaned & resealed.

I will add pics etc once they are finished,and post them in the for sale section as per forum protocol

just wanted to give LE owners a heads up....If you want to PM me to secure the lights you are welcome

Got mine back yesterday. Good as new

Many thanks Rich

Glad your happy John !

OK, as mentioned higher up this thread, I now have a set of fully refurbed LE lights ready to go, I have posted an official ad, which is awaiting approval, please PM me for details!












Rich

they look really good RichB , top job mate .

Thanks Nismo

Cracking!

Can't wait for mine

They sold yet or are they still available ?
Thanks ian

Mine are in

Lovely day up here, had to finish this before tomorrow's promised Armageddon , not helped by Mrs Ed stealing the Bee halfway through to go and have lunch with a friend

So thanks Rich, great job, she is now "bee-ming" bright again!

Le lights still for sale?

i think they have gone but if you PM RichB he may do you a set .

I already have just waiting for reply, they will really make a difference to my front end and im just too lazy to do them myself

Great, glad your happy Simon, they look !!

Im afraid they sold straight away to Hani...

am able to do more, as I get some exchange units in...

I've just received the headlights today and they look

Thanks Rich!

Great, glad your happy Hani !

Post up some pics when you get chance...be great to see them fitted !

Sure, I'll post some pics one I fit them soon

As a postscript to this I went out last night for the first time with the refurbs, and I could actually see!


The full beams are really yellow in comparison to the dipped HIDs.

They look really good!

The Coupe lens work really well with HID kits

I was surprised at the improvement in the throw of the light too...big difference

just want to mention that by next week I should have a set of fully refurbed lights, with LE Grigio Titanio 613A inners...i'll post up a for sale ad once they are finished.

They will be dentical to these -


This is in addition to other customers lights im working on, so may be the later end of the week they are fully ready...

Please PM me if interested!

A couple of my latest creations for a fellow forum member....





wasnt sure about sprint blue at first...however now the nice clear lenses are on, the colour really 'pops' like only sprint blue could!

Can't wait.... Tim

(Bit of a giveaway )

another top job RichB

they will look very nice on the sprinty Tim .

Couldn't look worse!!

As you are well aware progress is being made on the dear old Sprinty - the wheels make a HUGE difference, and Theresa has benefited from the flight of the Eagle F1s. The skirts are fine, the lips are to be sprayed this weekend prior to fitting and I did a bit of the interior today. The lights will take me to the stage where I just need a spray on the roof. She will never be mint, but will be cherished and driven regularly; turns heads now - there aren't many Coupes in Kent anyway and a Sprinty is teddy-bear doo-doos!

To which I'm very grateful for - thanks

Sprinty colour coded lights look good, although I would say that wouldn't I

Rich how on earth do you avoid getting paint/grease/tiger seal all over your pristine kitchen?

I do most of the work in the utility first, god my life would be over if I damaged the worktops!!

Here's my old Coupe with Sprint blue lamps done by yours truly, the colour coding works well on these I think

Not half...!! Hope mine look that good

me too .. oh wait .

Rich,
the lights arrived yesterday. They look absolutely stunning

I will have a bash at swapping them over at the weekend. Can't say I'm looking forward to wrestling with my HIDs, as I am a mechanical numpty . If you are still doing these please add me to your list for a pair of Scots Green.....

Tim

Glad your happy Tim, post up some piccys one you have wrestled them in! Your in the list for the scott greens

Here's afew pics of my latest set of LE lights done for a hopefully happy forum member !







Not looking too shabby

Hi Rich,

I think someone asked this before, I can't find the post now, but is there a minimum standard for the exchange units?

Mine have lost some of the surface coating, and are a bit yellow, however they also appear to have some 'crazing' in the plastic. It's hard to tell if this is just the surface, or deeper into the plastic.

Is this something you have seen before and can restore?

Many thanks
Stephen

Hi Stephen, the crazing cannot be removed.

I see it in quite afew lights to varying degree's, its not that noticable in most cases, and only shows up in certain light conditions.

If yours are really bad though, then as exchange units they would prob not be suitable.

PM me though as I can do you a set without exchanging for your old ones.

Let me know when you have some more le ones done please

Will do Matt, I have already PM'd you

Morning all,

OK so I have a set of refurbished lights nearly ready to go...these have coloured LE inners, (Grigio Titanio 613/A)

they wiil look exactly as per these -





Just drop me a PM if your interested

You ought to get my old ones today....

Tim

Great thanks Tim

Sent you a PM....

Sold

will be with a fellow forum member by next week!

Glad it seems to be going well Rich, it's great to finally be able to see in the dark when driving my Plus

great always useful in this weather...

keep them coated in a good quality wax, that should keep them clean for many more winters

Rich,
what wax would you recommend? I have the best (Carnauba) and cheapo stuff,

Tim

Just the best you have Tim, as long as the water beads off the lens...apply a coat once a month and it will help stop contaminents building on the surface....

....I use Collinite Double Coat Wax

Hi RICHB, do you have any more refurb headlights available?
Mine have had an unsuccessful attempt and I really want to clean up the car and I could do with seeing at night!
Hope you can help Stu.

PM sent Stu

Iv started work on another set of LE headlights as per these -





These should be ready in the next week, PM me if interested

On my christmas list.

They are gorgeous

Thanks Motocoupe, its a time consuming job, but worth it when you see the results, i'm getting quite handy at it now too ! particularly seperating the lights

The current set im working on have now sold, they dont hang around

Have afew exchange sets heading my way though so am able to do more to peoples spec as and when they want them

Hopefully there should be afew more pics added soon of forum owners cars with the refreshed lights...I look forward to seeing them !

Rich, this section is not the right one for putting up posts showing sets you have for sale.

Please use the market place in future for such posts.

If others members want a set then please post in Parts Wanted.

My apologies....

The Verde Scozia colour-coded units look brilliant (in the box). JBT will be fitting them for me after I drop Scottie off tomorrow for a few other bits and pieces. The Sprint Blue look SO good.....

Glad you like Tim


I have spare sets ready for refurb/colourcoding people, PM me if interested

LE lights on my plus! (next job, bonnet respray)

Very nice!

Oh, they look against ink black Jasen, glad your happy with them

I have just placed an ad with the mods for another set of LE refurbs that are nearly completed....once the ad is up, please PM me if interested

As these are refurbished do they have a new uv-proof covering or didn't the headlights ever come with it?

I don't think they did motocoupe, the headlights have a lacquer on them, this is what discolors and goes cloudy over time.

I remove this. Regular cleaning, and monthly waxing will keep them clean

How much does it cost for a refurb ?

PM sent Edz...

Just wanted to say thanks for a great service from RICHB.

I got a pair of colour coded Sprint blue lamps. They colour match the car perfectly, thought to be fair this doesn't show on this (Nexus4) photo

Great service, very happy customer.

Have PMd you desperate for a refurb as mine are awful.

Glad your happy Mick They look great on the car ...

Replied

Hi. Do you still do the head light refurb?.
Thanks

Just fitted my LE refurbs they look fantastic. Finish the car off after a bit of paint and alloys refurbished. Cracking.

I am with Submariner on this one, went for colour coded Sprint blue refurbed lights from RichB and well happy with them
