As per the title, I had one of them knocked off (also dented the wing). I have another wing to fit but as I need a new side repeater I thought about getting clear ones to replace the orange. Have just seen smoked ones are available, so was wondering which colour any thinks would be best. Car is z266 black estate.
Cheers Al

Clear, I personally think they make the car look younger :y
-
Thats what I thought, but as the car is black I wasnt sure about the smoked ones.

Clear I think looks best whatever colour :y

mine are orange, personally i don't get the idea of changing them to these 'smoked' ones.
Father tunnies has the clear ones from the factory, its not something i notice.

I wouldnt have bothered except that I need one new one anyway and thougth the clear ones look much better. Was all set to buy them until I saw the smoked ones. Think I will go for clear to match the fronts.

Depends on what colour the car is really, some colours its more noticeable than others :y

Orange would stand out more on that, i would vote clear :y

So did I, but rears are smoked, front are clear. Think clear as it will go with the silver trim on the mouldings rather than smoked hiding them in the body colour.
Cheers for the votes.

Thanks for the pics, must admit cant see the smoked one tho. Swmbo just went, ooohh smoked would look really good (she doesnt even drive) so I guess Ill order the clear and tell her I ordered smoked but they sent the wrong ones.

I have a pair of clear here somewhere, I was going to put them on my car but as usual (with working on everyone elses cars) I've not had chance to fit them. ::)

Are you offering to sell? Was gonna buy new as they are only £11 inc bulbs. But if I can send a few quid an Oofers we can all be happy.

Sorry if my last post was misleading, I still intend to fit them to mine, just no idea when ;D ;D

Just done that 4 days in a row and I can tell you that in a minibus, after a long boring day, when all you want to do is get home and the minibus IS LIMITED TO 62 mph (and it only got to 61 on the speedo) its not so much fun

You expect that in a lorry, I didnt expect it in a miltary vehicle. Was quite a shock in the fast lane when it decided to not go any faster.

[size=14]I think clear ones give a fresh new look and are nice on black cars, but the smoked ones are good if your after a more stelthier look which also works well on a black car, its all down to your personal taste i suppose[/size][/i][/b]
