Default Clear front indicators....

Has anybody ever removed the orange bit inside the indicator ?

I saw some on the white mint XR3i in either performance ford/fast ford and id like to do it to mine.

you can buy ultra clears, or you can bash the orange bit out with a screwdriver and break the orange bit up with some long nose plyers. it takes ages though and is a proper ballache.

look loads better too, are you going to use silver bulbs?

I cut mine using snips then shook it out.
Silvatec bulbs are the best ones to use, but failing that just paint orange ones with silver paint (model paint works great) and they will still flash orange.
