pretty easy to do the indicators. i held a nail in a pair of mole grips & heated it up with a blow torch. then cut the orange into 4 sections with the red hot nail (so the sections will fit through the hole) the just tap the sections off from the indicator & remove via the hole

Had to look twice at the sapphire reg then, my dad had an orion 20 yrs ago and the reg was F504DNA. Ha, good job on the van, i agree about the back bumpers being black though.
