Or is it an 'enquiry & made to order' product?

The link to Pelican Parts website where these projectors can be orders is below:

Pelican Parts - European Automotive Parts and Accessories - Porsche • BMW • Mercedes • Volkswagen • Audi • Saab • Volvo • MINI

Hope this helps.

Every model is 'Temporarily Unavailable' on the Pelican Parts website...?

And is there any option for UK buyers?

Stock=March. Projector options, yes many optic's cutoff plate/line is the other way around for the UK (I know, don't ask).

I'm sure the guys at pelican will be happy to ship to UK. If they refuse I'll fully understand tho lollll In any case I'll make sure you get a kit, no worries.

Tell you what, when you're coming back to the UK in the future, get in touch and I'll ask you to make a set for me

We are still debating about how to put up an effective "made-to-order" system however we haven't yet concluded anything yet. These chaps at Pelican seems pretty busy so I understand why this could quickly become a hassle for them.

Regardless, and in the meantime, I'll deal those special colors myself from this end. Until we've organized something that works.

So yes to your question, you'll be able to order the Red Vivo in March. Just don't know from who yet but that doesn't really matter. Same price really.

Thanks for the interest by the way. Cool choice if I may add

Nine8Six,
Any update on timeline for the center caps? I know you are a busy man.

Any updates?

One of my angel eyes has quit working. Can anyone tell me what the small black canister in the circuit is and can I get a replacement? I have power to it but the angel eye wont light. Thanks.

Hello China, here is Geneva !

How is the status of the prod ?

I’m waiting for a set of “Vivo”, and while waiting, let’s show you these Vivo will land :
(the “Before” photo !!)



or, ..not really a “show car”, neither a Daily (with Nitto NT01 !!), but a lovely track car.
Easy to recognize this one, a month ago, together with the great friends of the Golden Gate Lotus Club !

I was hesitating between Red Vivo (to make some companionship of the “Mobil Pegase”, the kill switch and the “stripes” (I bought this car with these stripes !! Yes, I know, ..I have to change the 3.2 engine into a 4.0, ..or remove these stripes !!)
or, Gun Metal Vivo, to match the OZ Alleggerita !
I think the GM will be a bit more “classic”, and just hope that they will hit the Pelican stock before the red ones !

To let you have a feel of the inside, it looks like that :



So, if I can remodel the seats, ..then I hope I will be able to remodel the head lights !


Avec mes meilleures salutations, depuis l’Europe cette fois !

[Dubaday]

nicest seats I've seen yet. How did you go about remodeling the seats, did you start with a regular Sparco seat and re-upholstered the center section with I'm not sure what material is used...? Anyways, looks B-E-A-utiful

Thanks,
Yes, the base are "regular" Sparco.
I felt they were good, but did not liked the material that much (the "touch").
I do like Alcantara.
I got the "Boxster S" stitched on an Alcantara panel, and then asked to have "diamond" stitches below the logo.
In the bottom front part, I asked to have it split in two parts (original was on one part) in order to have the 5th and 6th point of the harness to be able to go through.
Btw, all the original "center cushions" are fixed to the bucket using "Velcro", so, I just ordered (to a local car upholstery company) to use the same for these new cushions !
Pretty basic work !
Imo the "original" Sparco stitching is not so "elegant" ! (kind of "cheap ad" instead of discrete branding !)

Note that the result is quite "comfy" !

[gva-sfo]

Well, about these kind of “aesthetic” mods, as, I removed my roof (to gain 18kg !!), I found a cheap (50 bucks) engine cover, and made a hole on it, build aluminum frame, and fixed a Perspex window on it.



So, with no roof : a glance, and you can see the engine !
But, I have a plan, to push the concept a bit more, will see if it is going to work !
Note that the Brey-Krause bar is fixed in the rear side of the OEM hoop. This did enable me to keep the OEM paddings on the hoop, (imo extremely important for safety, ..if you drive the car without any helmet !) as well as keeping the OEM wind stoppers !

PS: all my excuses to Nine8Six for the off topic posts.

Guys,

I still have the problem that the oil warning light turns on/ spoiler goes up when turning on the headlights fitted with these retrofits. Turning of the engine and on again corrects everything (besides the spoiler). That one has to be lowered by using the button on the fusebox).

Any ideas of how to resolve this problem?

[geraintthomas]

This happens when you have a non-canbus HID kit.

Install a smart-canbus HID kit and you'll be fine.

[Edreamsz]

Aren't the ones supplied canbus friendly?

[anotherturbo]

March is behind us...any update on availability?
