i know i really cant make my mind up on this one weather to go with quads or a new set of headlights and clear indicators , when i had my last rsturb there was some front indicators on the market that did not have the orange reflector bit in them so looked much cleaner but i cant find anyone who sells them now

do what you think looks good mate, if you like the look of quads then you fit them, dont follow what the majority think. theres things i think look proper wank, like the escort cossy looking kit on a rs, coz to me it just doesnt suit the shape of a mk4 but if someone else likes it and fits it good luck to them, each to their own.

I think the twin headlights look alright as long as the bonnet has been debadged other wise it won’t look right but you can always change it back to the original headlights when you get bored of them

As for the ultra clear indicators which are rare I manage to buy a pair myself off eBay but were from Australia.

Nomad racing does the all clear indicators, ( without the orange filter ) they are made by ultra. You can buy the sliver bulbs from nomad too.
