I have a spare near side outer lens with the indicator area smoked instead of the clear/white lens so they must have been factory at some point .. it came of my 97 P reg 2ltr .

Looks like it, so they must have been standard fit up to 99. Our Migs have always been estates so can not compare... :y

One of the bosses sons where I used to work had a 240Z datsun race car in red, and a 240z in black, he had the e-type headlight covers on it and Smauri in gold in a few places (Samuri was the triple 45 dcoe /cams and head reworked convertsion) and it looked stunning untill it had been driven 100 yards, took it in to have a full respray in red, got to admit, the black was nice but the red was stunning and allways looked cleaner.
