2fifty Chat / Re: Rear Lenses (Thanks Sir Percival)

Hi Perce, I can attest to the rear lenses, they are great. Don't know about the front grill as I haven't used one. I did however buy the rear boot latch/lock, that made a hell of a difference to the look from the rear ;)

Hi Russ,
No, the original wiring was removed & the next system I used was re wired including the DNA button release. So I have fitted a solenoid but not connected anything. However it works fine as a manual key lock. If I can get an electrician to look at it later I will do so. As you know, I have an aversion to electrics :D
Thanks for checking up.
Ian

The installation was easier than expected once underway, was quite explanatory when following through.
I used an original Z3 solenoid but the original wiring was removed & re wired for the DNA solenoid. I am not au fait enough with wiring to sort out so will need a mate to help me sort it out again. In the meantime, the mechanical system works fine.

Also tidied up inside of boot lid, smoothed & painted + made up inner panels. I know that the inside colour is different BUT I like the contrast

Fitted stainless 250 boot lock supplied by Russel of Grassbank. Very helpful guy. Looks 100% better than the original MGB one

New lenses in. Very pleased with the result. Thank you Russell & Justin from Grassbank. Two lovely guys & very helpful.
Not cheap but they do enhance the car. Next purchase from them will be the stainless boot lock when developed

Much deeper red & more defined

I bought 2 lower rear light lenses at Tatton Park Classic & performance car show from Grassbank Conversions last weekend.
I had pre ordered them & fitted them straight away. The difference is very noticeable, a much deeper red & the vertical lines are much more defined & match the original tops.
Very pleased with the end result.
1st picture is original lenses

Thanks Russell, sounds like a good idea

Hi Russell
I will have to look at the system you are using & work out how to connect it up, I quite like the one I have.
Take care
Ian

Hi Russell
I will look to getting a set of your rear lenses, but not at present. I will however go for your boot lock. Will your new set up operate like the MGB ones as that is how mine is set up with a micro switch?
