    SWB tail lenses

    Just running this past people before I order a set of these repro lenses from Germany. I have added a couple of pics, and feedback from a couple of Euro guys has been good.
    Price is 160 euro plus 40 shipping.
    They are not Bosch branded.
    The Marek character has Bosch(repros) fronts and rears available however the rears dont look anywhere near as good as these, and are more expensive.


    Any help or advice greatly appreciated.

    If anyone has an interest in these let me know and I can pass on details.No affiliation
    Looked at a full set of NOS cases and lenses.
    The guy wants $3k for the full set - apparently bought in 68 and been in storage since.

            SWB vs LWB lenses

            I don't mean to highjack this thread but does anyone know if SWB rear light assemblies will fit onto a LWB car?

                Thanks John

                It's a pity because I prefer the cleaner look of the SWB rear end without the reflectors on the bumper.

                  Andrew, you could possibly make them fit... The metalwork surrounding is different (enclosed), but there might be some fettling you can do.

                  You could delete the reflectors from the bumper (I did when I had the RS glass one piece on the car). I guess there's a risk if you're parked curb-side in the night though...
