It looks great with either in tbh mate but I think the ambers just brighten the car up personally, lovely car whatever you decide anyway!

15 years ago we all took our Ambers off because it was considered naff & clears were the nuts. Now we have to take off the clears & replace with ambers because they are the nuts .

Its like hair styles & footballers shorts an ever changeing fad. Dont throw the clears away as we all did the ambers back then .

This is exactly what I have been thinking for a couple of years now.

I think if the car originally came with ambers then it probably should have ambers all round.

If it came with clears and smoked rears then that's how it should be.

But at the end of the day it's an individual choice, and anyway they all look good regardless.

What Rod said.
Ambers for me,mine got swopped about untill I settled on smoked rear and ambers front.I never got used to the coloured on the rear of mine.With yours my choice would be the full set if you have no number plate surround

I personally think that ambers are top choice for Gloss Black, Diamond White, Mercury/Flint grey, Radiant red, Moonstone/Crystal blue. They're also good for Magenta/Noveau red. I myself happen to have Moondust silver one which, in my opinion, wouldn't look good with ambers so its with smoked/clears.

Thanks for the comments. I think I like them so I'll keep them on.
I do like the original look to a degree . I hated the fogs and won't be needing them anyway . I had the middle bar chopped out and the backs of the fogs. Plus it's just more glass to get stone chips on.
Vented bonnets look far better than the std 2wd to me.

Ornament lol wasn't the plan but still want it up to scratch I will pop up when I get it back from the paint shop. Realy am happy with it I thought all that power through the front wheels would be silly but it's surprising how well it works
