GTA Head Lamps In France

Postby PaulC1959 » Tue Jun 26, 2012 5:47 pm

Hi Guys

Just beginning to plan for the Le Mans Classic trip and I have no idea how to "adapt" the GTA Le Mans head lights to prevent dazzling oncoming drivers. Can anybody please advise, especially as the Gallic Rozzers are now meant to be a bit more keen on rattling the Ros Bif's perch in the motoring sense of course. :roll: :roll:

Last time I went in the Venturi and that was nice and easy, just buy the black plastic thingies and stick them on. :wink:

Minari RS - Coral Red

Beam benders positioned approximately will do it.

Or do what I have done for the last 15 years in various cars - nothing :)

I think I am right in saying that a firextinguisher and first aid kit is also a requirement. :wink:
