Front foglight protection?

[Angelis]

How is everyone protecting their foglights?

I've just had the glass covers replaced and don't want them cracked again.

What's the best way to protect them?

Was thinking of paint protection film?

Ah I am about to replace my lenses - are they bonded on do you know?


Thanks

Bonded on and apparently they broke when they were trying to seperate them

I thought they might be - I found some new, original lenses for £125 each which didn't seem bad so was going to replace both mine as they are a little pitted and tired looking.

This is weird, I was just reading about this on FChat

There was a chap I met at the Ferrari Racing Days event with a black 348 and he was manufacturing covers.
He had quite a selection of colours (different smoked effects, from clear to dark) .
I didnt catch his name, but he's on here, and his reg No. starts with C18.

I know they are not OEM, so some may pull a face, but on his car, he had a very dark cover and it looked very effective I liked them
(especially as the bloke from Germany who's selling the glass fog lights hadnt at that time emerged)

Paint protection but appear to be a thicker type.

Thanks Greg.

I'm taking it to my local Ventureshield place on monday.

They will create a template from my car and add it to their database.

Hi Matt, It was me you spoke to at FRD.
I will be going to Sharnbrook in May and will have some kits hopefully. (perspex covers with alloy brackets and screws)
They are not just a bolt on item. Drilling and careful positioning is required.
There is one small problem in that they will only fit the 348 built up to around mid 92 ish.
The later cars have a different aperture profile which means I need a later 348 in my garage for a few hours
in order to get a pair to fit so I can make a template.
See you all at Sharnbrook
Dave.
