Volvo 240 early series, headlight covers

The suggestion that someone on Ecomodder made that I should close off the openings around my headlights kept nagging at me, so I finally made headlight covers for better aerodynamics and headlight glass protection. Material: 4 mm Makrolon (polycarbonate), the stuff from which modern headlight glasses are made. Covering the heads on this model closes many gaps through which air can pass and cause drag. It also protects the ever more expensive glass 🙂 Comments and questions welcome...
