Looks ok ,but I think you've taken away a bit of the uniqueness of the prodrive style model.

The reason I thought about the fogs, is the lights are awfull at night. So the extra light would be good ! The prodrive bug fog surrounds are mega rare, but I still think I prefer it with just covers :-(

If I keep them, I will be switching to a set of hid driving lamps. It's the aesthetics I'm looking into atm

Covers for me, the way they wrap around completes the prodrive look.

for me your eyes go straight to the fog lights but that's just an opinion from somebody who is in the creative world as when I take photographs of cars your eyes sometimes see part of cars or lines that other people do not

just my opinion

Are these genuine Prodrive fog surrounds or the fibreglass reproductions? Got a set of fibreglass ones for mine to go with some driving lights. If they are fibreglass what's the fit like? Only held them up to mine so far.

I thought fog lights were only for French cars to be used in un foggy conditions.

On a serious note, prefer the covers.

But illegal to use except in inclement weather.

Why not fit some driving lights and see like this:

The Irish use them as driving lights!! every other car will have them turned on for the hell of it guaranteed.. Plus the Guards don't even enforce the misuse of them like they do in the U.K

The original covers look so much better!

I was hoping, that people would like the fog surrounds to try and tempt me keep them on.
