Dazzer, look at the buyers guide that I gave you with the paperwork for the car. It should be Carellos on Y plate cars with Hella spots and fogs, or Hella all round on A plate cars in other words, u have the right ones on it already. Its all in that guide matey. Hope you are enjoying the car.

I disagree, Carellos were NEVER fitted to S1s, they only used Lucas on S1 cars.

3 different radios fitted to 1600i, if you post a pic i can tell you if its correct, if its a front arch that the wheels touching on full lock, it could be that there is no steering limiter kit fitted, 1600is/series 1 cars had these fitted due to the 15 inch alloys being fitted, without the kit they touched the front inner arches on full lock.
