Hey everyone, If I remove my headlight washers would I be left with ugly holes from the screw and tubing Ect ?? and if so whats a neat solution to making them neat ?? (plugs or something) Im not even sure if they are fixed on with screws or if they are glued/siliconed on... Any suggestions ?? Im trying to sleeken the look up like this person has done.

The holes need to be plastic welded. Unless your a Automotive Sprayer, your best off giving it to the professionals.

Best example of this mod that I've seen, I can't remember what they came off, maybe an alfa?

I don't get it. Looks like a S2000 with the washers removed. What came off an Alfa?

pretty sure I read that he used Alfa? spray jets to replace our Honda washers, those 2 black dots are the washers.

In Germany was illegal to have no washers on the headlights, so this is his alternative mod.

Oh wow. I'll have to look closer.

It's technically illegal here too, but I suspect it is never enforced.

Yeah I can't find where in all the posts, I was just going on memory, thanks vyets. This has got me thinking so much so that I have emailed him to see if he has a DIY on it. He hasnt been that active on s2ki of late and pm's are blocked, but email is open so will have to wait and see if get a reply.

That looks stupid.

For the cost of Alfa parts, you may as well remove them yourself, plastic weld it yourself, sand it yourself, and get the bumper painted for $150-$200 and have NO washers at all...

He's resprayed the bumper anyway.... What a waste of time. The average joe blow cop isn't going to recognise a car with washers from a car without....

I think the idea might have been to stay legal. Perhaps they are a little stricter on in zee fadderland.

^^ Lol...I think you may have overlooked the fact that if one wanted to keep the washers and stay "legal" then this is a clean alternative mod.
