Yeah it relly does kill the new fresh feel to it doesn't it!
But I'm really brain-storming over here and should eventually come up with something! What about Mercedes C-class head lights? could be worth it!

How about subaru wrx "bug lights" as they are refered to..
It is different... I could take picture if anyone is interested... On similar forums they go for about 150-200.. Just a thought.. At least they both are flat four.. While I am on the WRX Bandwagon.. They make variations of those lights..as in JDM and EDM (Jap and European models) also the WRX Prodrive variants.. But IMHO not a good look.. ALex

Thanks but I don't even have fenders on my car right now, I should be getting a pair some time in the near future ( like 6 months or so) then I could see about the photoshop thing, but its a good idea any ways!

Do the new mini headlights.
I have only seen it once, thats on a NON german look bug. Do it on a german looker and it will look totally different Just go for it. Cya, Sam C

what about VW Polo headlamps or Lupo? Similar in size and shape to sloping beetle headlamps. Could be made to fit. Toyota Corollas have a round-ish headlamp similar to the Subaru bug-eye one, both of which could be grafted into a bug front wing if there is enough room for the headlamp "bucket" in terms of wheel clearance. Front aprons/spoilers from modern cars could be adapted to fit under a bug bumper. REAR apron/air diffuser under the back bumper? A rear windscreen that lifts up on gas lifters like a mid '90s Honda civic split tailgate? I don't know how practicable these ideas are, but someone with the time might like to try!!

Sam:
You know what? You're right the new mini head lights would look incredible on a GL, espescially when you got the best canvas in the world to beautify, and we all have them, but I've got the advantage, mine is still blank( sorta ) So thank you sam for telling me how it is and to "just go for it"! I WILL ! ! ! !

LOAF! That is smokin'!
Those would be soooo sweet in my bus. Now, tell everybody what they cost.  That's the biggest factor in any of these ideas, those new headlight designs are crazy expensive. My buddy is on the mini quest too and just priced a left assembly (all he could find) out of salvage was $400. Plus if you're not an ace fabricator and body man, forget it. They gotta work, not just look trick. If you don't pull of the conversion to look stock, you wasted your money.
