Which colour side repeaters?
« on: 29 January 2010, 20:12:47 »
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.

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.

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.
