Yeh stick with clears, but get some Phillips gas filled indicator bulbs, like the ones you see on Focus RS's.. The Poched Egg look doesnt look cool.

As said above, would look weird with Oranges, cos its slightly Modified.

Agreed. Smoked fronts with clear side repeaters.

I think ambers only look better on a totally standard car. They look strange when on a car with different wheels and twins in my opinion. Im not a fan of clear fronts either.

Smoked all the way!

Clears for me, imo they look better next to the fog lights than ambers.

Default eggs

Orange. In my opinion, no offence, whites look cheap and the fried eggs look makes the car look like some kids 1.3 bonus replica

looks alot better dave.but imo and it is just my opinion bud.i'd paint the side lights body colour,lose the number plate surround and get shot of them "show plates" in favour of some standard letter ones or slightly smaller letters.

but its all up to you matey as its your car.

Mat you have just helped me make my mind up mate, i've been thinking for a while about going back to ambers, 500 grills, original covers ect, seeing your car above has done the trick, i know its a different colour but it gives me the idea what it will look like. cheers bud. Mark
