As the headlamps on my Le Mans are fared in the masks you buy for driving on the right aren't going to work are they? Are there special ones designed for this car?

You could try "beam benders" rather than the cut out ones as they stick on any old how and seem to do the trick and at least it makes it look as if you have tried. Look bloody awful mind.

Just pen a kitemark and a few numbers onto your home made 'shades', it will make them look even more authentique.

I have taken my GTA into mainland Europe 4 times and none of my fellow britsh drivers went to any bother for this sort of thing. At least I made a big effort and put a couple of blue GB stickers on my number plates, didn't bother the last few times though.
