A bit of DIY on the 7 this weekend..

[tobytoblerone 3]

Major damage (unrepairable) to front right guard, front right headlight smashed too!

Both replaced, ordered direct from Germany a refurbished panel, painted & ready to go.

Perfect colour match. Surprisingly very easy to remove the panel, a few bolts here and there. Then it comes right off, little effort required. Heck, it's more difficult getting the headlights off of these beasts (requires removal of entire front bumper).

Anyways, results are awesome. Saved a fair penny, very difficult getting spares for a long wheel base E66 7 series. Yes the parts are a different fit to a regular E65 which makes getting parts very expensive and difficult. Had to wait 2 months for these to arrive!

Here are the un-salvageable parts.. I guess i'll drop the panel to a metal recycler & the headlight to the land fill.

If its just the plastic/glass lens on the light, could it not be replaced?

Nope, the unit is completely sealed. Already looked into that.

If you're going to through the light out, I'd be keen to take it off you!

Happy to pay to have it posted to my place if you don't mind

You have an e46? Don't know what use you would have for it? The headlight is pretty shattered at the back, it's mostly hanging together by a thread... But come pick it up if you want, im in auckland.

Probably salvaging the HID lens assembly for some project.
