I did it on a fairly long journey and it was fine. I had the front bolts in and just went easy. Because the roof is quite heavy, i found i had little movement and the journey was pretty straight, flat roads so it was ok.

Yes you can fit them to standard lamps. Fitting to the projectors is a tricky job as you have to modify the lamp for them to fit. I was going to do it but then decided not to. You may get through mot's with them but they are not legal. I think you will be more than happy if you went for the projecto...

Im very interested in seeing how this all looks once the wider wings and wider bumper are fitted. If the rear wheels are spaced to line with the arches, this will look great.
Fair play for doing this :)

They do make a massive difference to the look of the front of the car and it will look alot lower.
I have the reps on my non m but love the m flippers and if i remember rightly, i think the copies were in the 150 or more region so its not a bad price.
