Default Opinions on side repeaters for ERST

as my square clear repeaters have gone cream coloured, I need to get some new ones but I want to go for something different now, has anyone got any pics of say Focus or oval ones on an ERST? I'm quite liking the Puma ones as well....

Thanks in advance

Oval ones look cack. Stick with square.

Focus ones look ok, but you have the cut the wing out to get them to fit? What's the point

Anyone ever found square ones that fit properly without cutting them about??

I got mine from halfords and they have a blooming great big square piece of rubber that goes between the light and the wing and they look like a right bodge.

yeah I know what you mean, I threw that away, orange ones don't have it so why do the clear ones need it

I'm liking the Puma ones a lot....

My RS has the oval ones on, I thought they were about the only thing the previous owner managed to get right until I realised they don't fooking work.

imo, look good.

I got squares on mine.

No complaints from me. Gave th eclear ovals away to a mate to stick on his Vauxhall . Focus ones can look quite good though but not keen on hacking the wing to fit them.

Put Puma ones on my Mum's 2i and I reckon they look allright

people seem to be going for the puma style round indicators, fit straight on and come in various colours, it seems that ovals are now an 80's thing of the past, you can get a few focus style side repeaters that you dont have to cut your wing to make them fit. square ones are always around but you have to shop around to get decent quality e.marked ones.cheers nomad

Cheers mate, but it is nothing speacial!

I would suggest if you want the focus sides, get em from ESP design. They are the totally clear ones (not the crap led ones, or crystal ones) and they are universal fit, so as nomad say's no cutting wings!
