LEDs for Lance Integrale body

[wimclaes]

Hello,

I’m Wim from Belgium.

Just started with the hobby, as I decided to build an rc car for my 60 th birthday.

Couldn’t afford it as a youngster. Man the hours I spend in front of the hobby shop, admiring the Lamborghini cheeta and the likes....

I bought a Lancia Delta Integrale Xv01. Is it possible and how to install led lights on this shell, like with the Audi Quattro.

other advice about the build is also more then welcome.

hope some one  can help me with this.

 

kind regards ,

Wim

I think it will be possible with the standard kit but it will never look perfect as the headlamps are not moulded as light buckets with a clear lense over them. You will only be able to drill a hole to poke an LED through or fabricate something to hold an LED in place at the rear and have it shine through the rear light stickers (having masked off the shape before hand if you can - you would need to cut out the sticker amd use it as a template for the mask)

Alternatively, if your wallet is good to take a bashing and you can wait for a few days delivery - KnightCustoms have a Shapeways store for 3D printed custom parts makes and makes a really good front grille with light buckets moulded behind, rear light buckets and also a set of the bonnet mounted spot lamps all designed to take LEDs.
