I'm the same as you, i can't think what's best..



I'm thinking smoked indicators as the wheels are anthracite But then again, the orange looks okay..

looks good with both in.

at first the ambers looked the best but after a longer look at it,they don't seem right.

get the clears back on there, the ambers look to out of place.

a mix and match of colours - amber indicators with the clear class headlights and side section lights doesnt look good to me.

keep it all the same - blends better.

I went down that path this year at some shows, but decided on smoked for now just keep them and change over now and again.

Im not sure on the ambers to be honest, although the more you look at it, the better it looks actually.

Ive got smoked and this pics just made me order some RS500 grills, so im a hundred pound down now! Thanks dunc.

btw, is that an induction feed i can see? Does it go straight up without any messing?

after looking at duncs car i think the smoked ones look spot on with the grills.but with the fogs in the clears defo look better as they look right with the rest of the lights,the ambers look out of place imo.but i would say that lol. but dont forget to get some chrome bulbs that flash amber so they dont look like fried eggs lol.

heres a closer one of mine with amber bulbs before...

"You know Stoo, it's as if it's got a bright red spot on the end of it's nose"

I think it looks a lot better with the clears personally, but then again I'm not a big fan of Morettes or RS500 grilles either.

In my opinion the orange indicators work best on a completely standard car.

I had ambers in my ash black one when I got it, but changed all round to clears, already had the nomad smoked rears, and personally I think it looks the tits, orange was ok but it breaks up the lines too much

In standard form: (Although I do admit I now have RS500 grills on and the lower splitter back on)
