What headlamps should an rs16i have fitted from new as have seen a few with different ones fitted cheers.

 

i'm led to believe that it depends on the year mate

 

Lucas or Hella depending on year for the RS1600i, Carellos for the S1

 

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.

 

This is correct, carellos were not fitted to 1600is

 

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

Hi there that info in the guide is for the DRIVING LAMPS NOT THE HEADLAMPS i`m sure they are Hella or Lucas cheers, can`t wait till next year, looking forward to all the shows i`ll be attending.

 

U had it out on the road yet?

 

Disagree all you want m8, im correct

 

Oh that guide, i wrote it

 

RS1600ireg great guide that mate do you know what radio was std fit i have one fitted not sure if it`s correct or not. Diesel 2000 yes been out it`s great apart from LH wheelarch catching on tyre.

 

Front or back?

 

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.

 

Hi it`s catching on LH rear,i think it`s had new arches on,RH is ok think there is pic on here somewhere of dash poss under diesel2000.
