Title: Help – Fulvia Montecarlo Spot/Foglights? Post by: FulviaFiend on 18 July, 2008, 07:33:10 AM Hi,
Does anyone know the make and model of the original additional driving/spot/fog lights fitted to 2/3 series Fulvia Montecarlo's? Then comes the inevitable question, anyone also know where I can source a pair? Presently have round period Carello's but thinking of swapping to the more factory originals… attached is a period picture for help Any help much appreciated FF Title: Re: Help – Fulvia Montecarlo Spot/Foglights?

They are Carello PF Polaris (Carello 02.308.000). As they are not handed I would imagine that Italian Ebay would be a good place to start. Title: Re: Help – Fulvia Montecarlo Spot/Foglights?

Post by: fay66 on 18 July, 2008, 09:16:21 AM Much as they maybe the correct lights, I can't say that from an asthetic point of view I've ever liked rectangular spotlights on a car with round headlamps. but that's just me ;D

…other members thoughts? FF Title: Re: Help – Fulvia Montecarlo Spot/Foglights?

Are these the ones - they look similar ? Title: Re: Help – Fulvia Montecarlo Spot/Foglights? Post by: peterbaker on 04 August, 2008, 07:45:23 PM It is now possible to buy Cibia Oscar replica which look great either as a pair or two up and two down

Many thanks for all the feedback, will keep looking ;) FF Title: Re: Help – Fulvia Montecarlo Spot/Foglights?

Thanks for the update and picture, but I will stick to my NOS round Carello's for now unless I find the correct Montecarlo's at some point the the probably distant future (they kind of look cuter too!). ;) FF |
