Oh ok, nevermind- what lazy van designers though!

I'm suprised someone hasn't got hold of one of those dirty great 'boxer' badges from a pug dealer to whack on the back of a 33 yet. It'd be very tasteful Laughing

This is a Peugeot Expert van, I certainly see the external similarities.

Hi,

Here's an idea.

Many different cars share components from manufacturers like bendix, valeo etc. Does anyone know if the Peugeot Van (like pictured below) shares it's headlights with the s3 33. They look pretty blinking similar???



If they were the same, it may be possible to get new lights at a reasonable price from good parts factors or possibly even Peugeot if desparate.

Anyone in a position to cross ref a parts book or confirm or know if they're different.

Don't need any myself (touch wood) but might help someone.
