ORANGE LOOKS FUCKING SHITE, WHY YOU THINK THAT FORD CHANGED IT IN THE FIRST PLACE

stop trying to be different as the cars look like old ford sierras for the school run with em

white car looks cool with white ONLY light, none of that orange "hidden" inside em

i want smoked on mine but mine aint the average cossie

Amber indicators IMHO
Just bought a brand new set of Ambers for the front and side of my Monte can't belive how much fresher it looks. I've always thought Series 1's looks the nuts with Amber's as well.

..but if the choice was out of the two I'd go clear over smoked

CheeRS Guys Clear seems favorite its for a very late saff altho as the rears were smoked I thought that would look OK

Maybe new orange sounds Ok especially on a completely standard saff

Thanks
