FTO AUSTRALIA

Hi all,
I'm new to this site just brought my first FTO today
The only thing is that i need some new front headlight covers as the one on mine are yellowish n the laminate is coming off one of em so i need some brand new ones. Also i heard you can get some that are glass,is this true and if so where can i get some from?

thanks
Mel

The bad news is, where every you heard those BS from are incorrect.

The good news is, the link below will help you fix it.

And yeah WTTC, the key to this forum (or any) is to use the search button, which located next to "Forum FAQ" on top of the page.

Don't use the one on the left side of the page as it there to fill up space.

But, Mel_star_1 WTTC Search the forums for "Delaminating Headlights" Basically you don't need to buy new ones, just sand back with very fine sandpaper and polish them up like new

Thanks i'd found that already but i didn't want to do it myself i just wanted new ones coz the ones a have, have kinda gone a tad yellowish. So know where i can get some new ones?

thanks

It's pretty hard to find them new these days as they stopped production of the FTO years ago.

You can either find a non-yellowish set second-hand from a wrecker or your best bet would be to try Northshore Mitsubishi.

I'm pretty sure someone on this forum was selling a brand new set though... ...have a look in the Parts for Sale section and see if you can dig it up.

You can still buy them new, every time they run out of spares, they will do a production run of that item in Japan if the demand is there.... and for the most commonly busted thing in accidents being headlights, they run regular production runs.

Its just the $$$$$$$ they cost

Oh really, my apology then, I never heard or seen them before, you wouldn't happen to have a link?
