Hi-cost of Lights
I've done a spreadsheet of all my planned build costs and one of the biggest single items is the lights. Luego sell a complete set for £246 +
vat. Does this seem excessive, or is this the norm?
Its a similar story with the instruments (£319 at Luego for a comprehensive set).
Thanks,
Rob

That sounds more reasonable. I'm not too worried about looks cos I'm planning to race my car rather that pose in it

you will need to order seperate side lights, as the main lights dont have any

Black plastic with sidelights from svc £25, trailer rear lights £16, rear hazard and reverse(not compulsory) £2 each at Newark show and a pair of bike
indicators for the front £10 from local breaker. Side repeaters from donor car I reckon £53 in all if you don't want posing value.

I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.

ill admit that the luego ones seem high but they are the highest quality you can buy in the kit car world, i researched into buying the luego set of
lights seperatly from the respective manufacturers and the price came out about the same, you just have the hassle of sourceing them yourself. If you
dont want the best and only want a cheap alternative then dont buy it. I went half way bought high quality headlights, indecators and side repeators.
the rear lights are just going to be old land rover items or such like.

I agree. If they're good quality then they're worth the extra if you're building a road car. I don't think looks are as
important for a racer though.

RE Gauges
Luego get their guages from ETB Instruments. You can get them cheaper direct from ETB. Have a look at http://www.etbinstruments.com/
Not sure where you are but ETB are based in South Essex.
Hope this helps
