on the photos the covers look a bit strange (because all the pics are zoomed in) but in real life they look perfect just like an oem part! no worries!

How about a photo from a distance?

FWH you wont need a photo, as yours are on there way to you. from a distance you will be hard pushed to even see they are on there. post pics when you get yours on, from a distance.

One more thing on the do-to list then......

One picture of the fog light covers from a distance as requested.
Unless you actually stare right at the covers you don't really notice them.
Thanks once again gray52.

robbo51 · 7th July 2007, 14:18

I will also post a distance pic. I have also made photos about the damage. I will upload them very very soon!

Dalboy · 11th July 2007, 15:15

Fitted mine today, looking good, thanks Gray52

PTR · 11th July 2007, 15:46

so here are the pics about my huge damage on my fog cover..

but as I made the close pics I have realized a small crack on the glass

so the impact could have been really big one and/or the glass is too thin.
it is crazy because after looking at the pics I have double checked the glass with the cover off and I haven't seen anything

probably because of light conditions..
without cover this big stone impact would have def. broken my glass on little pieces.. BUT now I have a small almost invisible crack and my fog is still 100% usable

(I was thinking if the crack gets bigger but this glass is not like windscreen wich is flexing with chassis and the fog is fixed flexible so it should be fine

)

and from a bit further:

ohh a minimeet!

gray52 · 11th July 2007, 21:19

That Was A Big Impact To The Fog Light Cover, For The Perspex To Be Damaged Like That. Are You Sure That The Fog Light Has A Crack Or You Have A Flaw In The Glass??. The Reason I Say This Is I Fitted Another Members For Him And I Notice A Flaw In The Glass Similar To This But It Was Not A Crack. You Would Be Able To Feel If It Was A Crack, Lets Hope Its Not A Crack.

PTR · 11th July 2007, 21:23

yep I hope it also!
I will check it once again but more properly tomorrow.

gray52 · 11th July 2007, 22:07

i would say if it was a crack then it would have either broke in half or shattered like the other unprotected fog lights, as the glass does not seam very good. like you said before, if it wasent for the cover then that fog light would certainly be smashed.

whizzy · 12th July 2007, 19:21

Gray52,
do you have any more of these fog light covers? Just ordered a Type S and would be well gutted if my fog lights smashed in the 1st week.

PTR · 13th July 2007, 18:07

so I have just checked my fog again. for first attempt I haven't seen the crack what I have seen on the pic. for second attempt nothing either.
I haven't give up so i have checked it more closer and I found the thing.
There is a small scratch on the mirror surface so it is not a crack!
Glass is in a 100% condition no damage (just some dirt on it

)
so the cover has saved my little fog from that huge impact what has damaged the cover so badly!
I am so happy that I have/had the covers!

so Gray52 start series production and tell Honda to mount the covers on the end of the production line!
