I think the smoked one's look better. I've changed the side repeaters to clear one's and it looks much better!
I think I've still got some tint spray left in the shed, do you want me to bring it when we meet up next month? May well spray my side repeaters too actually?  :-/

Mmmm? I haven't really had a chance to look at things like that, I was only concerned that everything worked OK.
Now I've seen a few comparisons I think I prefer the look of the original smoked lenses and add to that smoked side repeaters for a nice toned down look.
Those facelift rears are almost, almost, heading towards lexus style brightness. Mind you, your car your rules, if it works for you then all is good.

Clear repeaters work best on body colour/facelift trims. Swapping the side and tailgate trim for later ones would finish it off nicely, you could even go the whole hog and swap the bonnet and both bumpers. 8-)

But as said before, 'it's not my car...' :y

I wouldn't say lexus at all, more BMW M3... as they are the red and clear ones. I detest Lexus lights....even on a lexus.
