Re: Valeo Front Fogs - Yellow

Could cut the yellow lenses off an old set, machine polish the glass carefully and fit in place of a clear lense if needs be for the new look

Last time I spoke to him about them they were £100 each but that was at Santa Pod last year so dont know if they have gone and they are more.

**phase i 16 v turbo** · 26-02-2013, 13:23

Renault still have stock but hope you are sitting down.

£126 + vat each now

Renault had a price increase in Jan and just recently put the prices up 2 weeks ago.

First one was a price increase the second a price review.

Wait for the refund, both those companies which have them up for auction get the stock direct from the suppliers, they dont hold any stock themselves. Valeo dont have these anymore.

**Thundercat** · 26-02-2013, 16:05

yep just got the email, total ****s lol

**casper** · 26-02-2013, 16:13

There's a few places that list them in stock,iv had places in France and Germany take your money only to refund it cos they haven't got any.Luckily I did manage to source two new ones in the end but was through a private sale.

I messaged both those companies before hand, I have also messaged loads of companies from around the web. Closest I had was rockauto who said they have got them in the warehouse and place the order, but 2 days later, sorry stock was wrong

so I keep searching eBay trying to find them from companies which dont list every part number they get there hands on and put them on eBay. Thing is even though they have said they haven't got stock they wont remove it from eBay.

**Numptysnumnuts** · 26-02-2013, 18:04

Seriously look on the Spanish fleabay whilst not new or at least i dont think they are, I picked up a set for £40 delivered and there is not a single spot of rust on them. They look new let's just put it that way.

**Bigfoot** · 27-02-2013, 15:05

Look close to originals, supposed to be Cibie but dont look quite right on markings on lense

**Danboi2** · 03-04-2013, 10:16

Bargain

And all those years ago, you couldn't even give them away as everyone wanted clear lenses.

Surely someone can replicate these? Or Valeo would make them again if a certain amount was wanted?

**casper** · 03-04-2013, 17:36

Someone offered me 200 quid for a new set i have last week,turned

them down.

**Goobie** · 03-04-2013, 17:39

Best bet now is getting a clear set and having them laminated in yellow at a sign writers shop?

There is probably a scap yard some where full of everyone's old o.e. and just a case of finding where.

**casper** · 03-04-2013, 17:46

Just get some used ones off mike,i have some on my car and there sound,so much so theres no point me fitting the new ones yet.

Yeah mate I reckon that's the way to go.

I'd have snapped the guys arm off if he offered me £200
