each to there own and thanks for your opinion,

if you mean the gaps where it meets the arch, this when mounted at the bottom will sandwich the rubber, meaning no gaps, but until i have a beam setter to check my light heights and bits there is no point in making my lower mounts..

Lamps look ok just that they don't fit well. Why did you not fit them properly straight off. The gap to the bumper looks naff. It's the aim your looking to set with the beam setter not the height of the lamps on the car.
 
without having something to point and aim at i could worst case fix all in place and then go for a test drive and i could be lighting up the sky.. so until i have something to point the lamps at im not going to pull it all tight and fix it, hopefully it should look good with the original trim under, if not, back to the drawingboard to fabricate something to will the gap and look good!

All you need is a shadow board for rough adjustment, piece of ply with line along it at the centre height of the lamps. Put it in front of the lamps and adjust until the beam is along it for high or just below it for dip.

PS. Obviously the car has to be level and so does the line on the board.

good shout, thankyou, this is why i put this post on the forum for constructive criticism and other peoples ideas, Thanks wammers!
 
I think it looks very promising and will be interested to see the final result.
I've always considered the front of the p38 to be the one area the designers failed with as it looks very plain, not worthy of such an up market motor.
Keep up the good work mate :)
