Looking for a hood latch set that would fit the 2 separate spots on the oem style inner hood, can't find much of anything. Did buy the vw part in case I end up cutting into it to fit

front hood latch
if you are  not using a OEM look alike some use a VW  hood latch . they may be hard to come by  and if they are , they are rusted and ugly . but also Mercedes G class has same and you can pick it up BNIB.

Sweet! I added these.

I heard rumors about the Ford Focus lights but at the time couldn't figure it out. It never dawned on me that they would only be on the European Focus. ::duh

Back to the projectors. I'm thinking there must be a drop-in part from an Audi or BMW or something. Has anyone explored that possibility?

European Ford Focus 1998-2004 Front Side Repeater.  These are on the front fenders of the Euro Murcielagos.

Nice! I was beginning to think there wasn't a source for the seatbelt cap

Thanks. I updated the first post. I also included links to known sources for these projectors including the projectors available to forum members from No Bull's neighbor. I think this is turning out to be a pretty nice resource. I will keep it updated as long as I am aware of new info so keep the posts coming!

Here is the P6. Also note that they are on eBay listed under many names but the site link below seems to continually carry them.

And the smaller P1

I would add the headlight info. Note that the larger light (P6) is slightly smaller than oem. People using oem copied headlight rings will have a gap between the ring opening and the bulb.

So the large light is a P6. What is the small light? Seems like every manufacturer uses a different standard so it is tough for me to tell what is going on.

Dustin, do you think ID measurements of the trim rings be helpful for people to find the correct projectors or is there more to it than that?

Should I add headlight projectors to this list? I'm not sure if they are considered drop in parts but they are of interest to a lot of folks. If so, I'll need to know some information on them (size, etc.). I checked this thread but wasn't sure if there was consensus: http://lamboclone.com/index.php?topic=783.0

I understand there are multiple ways to go on this but is there some general info that would be useful to people or should I leave it out?

Bigpines, thanks for starting this thread. It will be a huge help to new builders and some of us that have been around for a while.  ::beers
