Morettes are supplied in black plastic. It is up to you whether you colour code them or not.
Colour coding can be done by some suppliers (at additional cost), as some have access to paintshops where as others do not.
Again, something to be looked into once I get some more prices back.
Only one supplier has come back with prices and they are trying to get a greater discount from Morette!

Can I suggest that any picture requests, non-group buy related questions, etc, be posted elsewhere, or it will be a nightmare trying to track all the names of who wants what.
Thanks
Andy
PS - I don't want to post all the names of people interested, as I know some emailed me directly (maybe to keep it from their better halves!!
)

I can't tell you if the supplier can colour code them or not, as I do not know the supplier!!! 
I will let you know when I know! At the end of the day, if it were £20 more expensive to buy from a supplier with a paintshop would you buy them, considering you would have pay extra for painting?
Why don't we see who comes out with the best price first!

One supplier has come back to me, offering a very good price (best so far), painting (at additional cost), but is getting back to me with a leadtime.
We only need 10 or more people to get a favourable deal!

Another supplier has come in cheaper, but we need 20+ people for that price. Just checking if they have painting facilities, delivery costs and lead times!

PJ,
Adjusting the Morettes is easy there are 3 adjusters with wing nuts so you can adjust them.
On your std STI lamps there will be a bolt probably 8mm for adjusting, tho it is limited in how far you can go.

When I say fixed, I mean that you do not have a headlight level controller on Japanese cars, although they come standard on UK cars.
They are adjustable from behind the lamp unit to set the lamp position. The UK ones have the same, but also have the bits so the headlight level can be adjusted via the Subaru controller!

We are now up to 33 people interested, and a third supplier has come back to me:
They can offer the units even cheaper, have access to a paintshop, offer cheaper delivery, will take credit cards over the phone (so I don't hold anyones money!) and can have 10-20 sets out in a week, any more would need to come from France (up to 14 days)

I don't want it turning into a bidding war!! 
I'm still want to a few more suppliers to get back to me first! I don't want to show you guys until the deadline is up!
People have been quoted £265-290 for individual sets! Just to wet your appetite, they are coming in lower than that!
We will be getting them for about the same money that some companies pay trade for!!

A remember I wanted to give suppliers until the end of the week to allow them to call in all their favours to get our price down!
I've had a few emails today, but being quite busy at work today, I won't get a chance to go through them right now.
I will go through them all tonight and analyse all the quotes and work out which deal is best for us.

Knowing how group buys normally go, when the time comes to put your hand in your pocket, the excuses come out!!
I only expect 15-20 people going ahead with it!!! And at the moment there are 38 people interested!
