Default S1's . . . Rear overriders or not!

Got some overidders off my scapper 3i and they came up a treat with a wash and some Autoglym gel stuff. Beginning to think they look better with them on. Dunno the exact place where they should be, just sat them on for the pic What do you guys think?

Without mate, I think it makes them less cluttered

Although they should have them on there, if you want to fit them they should be under the reverse lights mate

AndyT has them where many are now fitted: under the inner fog light,

Mikey's C850GOM has them under the reverse light: al-la what Dan said.
All the press photos shows the over-riders (on the few that have them fitted ) under the REVERSE LIGHT.

Oh yeh..oranges look better too

The only way clear fronts look good is if they are totally clear & have a silver bulb in so you don't have a big orange blob sat there staring at you

Yes mate, Andy's right:

Three choices...you can either:

1: Paint your orange bulbs silver (they will still flash orange). Cheap and cheerful way of doing it.

2: Buy Silvatec bulbs (around Ł15 a pair, but look v good)


3: Buy something like this for cheaper price but just as good as silvatec
(Not a ford car, but just to illustrate the bulb on clear lense). They are a rainbow-oily colour and shine very bright orange when lit
