Another 'like' vote here. They seem to fit well to that curve in the 2CV rear valence, plus you've used the 'deluxe' version of the lenses with a chromed surround... ken

 Re: My new 2CV, running restoration. In theory..
So will it be having a split front screen  and want to change lanes all on its own...

Been there, done that. The '63 van I had only seemed to do it when overtaking wagons if there was a crosswind. ken evilben wrote: So will it be having a split front screen  and want to change lanes all on its own...

Bloody difficult to get hold of the original lenses too, not going to share what I paid for them..

Most split screens wander about like mad due to worn out steering boxes! Very expensive to replace. You can convert them to rack and pinion which is makes things a bit less scary!

 Re: My new 2CV, running restoration. In theory..
Rear tail lights look great, mild customising is the spirit of the 2cv, even Citroen knew that. The suicie door conversion looks great also, I am currently doing this on my car using a modern bearclaw latch, but mine is a lot more Frankenstein... Keep it up! Harley

 Re: My new 2CV, running restoration. In theory..
Thanks folks, the plan was always to get away from the nasty trailer lights.
Got a sheet of Zintec today, so will get the other rear quarter window blanked soon, then I need to sell something so I can buy floors etc. The "saving up" thing didn't go to plan.

Got the other rear window blanked..  And mocked up the rear end  Then flipped it back upside down ready to do the floor, and realised how much welding there is still to do >_<
