all i know is i know 2 people off here who both have 555 editions who both think there stickerd from factory. so i would only assume that they are correct. for someone that wires neons up to ECUs and Lexarse lights i would of thought you would of known this for a certainty!!!!

On the sticker thing from the factory; I'm 99% sure a reliable source on here said it may have been an optional extra for the 555 car in '95 to have them fitted.

99% but not 100% sure. Thread on here a couple years back regarding the subject.

Even if they do come from the factory with barry stickers, they still shout "look at me! I r rally car!!" No factory sponsorship should equal no rally slag stickers IMHO.

Your "bad" what??

I hope your not taking the ****? the reason I have Lexus lights is they are lighter than the oe ones and the only ones you can use with the Simtek ecu if you want the F1 safety car style lights. (once the firmware has been debugged)

Dunk, I did not relalise you were being sarcastic, I thought you could see advantages of lighter rear lights and having something made by Lexus.

Yea lol i was being funny lolz, As for lightness i would rather drive around with lumps of lead as rear lights than use those lexus things, lexus lights should be on lexus cars

But i have sent off an email asking if my ECU can be updated/chipped too accept the flashy neons

Sorry but you are wrong on the graphicsmy friend.
Graphics are ok on sponsored cars, they are there for a reason to generate revenue and/or exposure.

To put them on for free is just crazy and just as chav as the lexus lights.
To even include your car in the same context as the WRC is lunacy, your car is about as related to the WRC as the Fiat500 is to the Ferraris whose badge they seem to wear :lo1: etc

the graphics were standard on the 555 car released in japan to celebrate getting carlos sainz on board with mcrae, had the extras like the roof vent and other bits and look nice in the flesh. i know someone who's got one and it has a part about them in one of my impreza books i've got.

They're not made by Lexus though, Andy. The original design is by Lexus and usually some cheap **** Chinese/Tiawanese company makes various cheap rip offs (well in my experience).

No, they look hideous. Not only that, but you're giving everyone the impression you like to hang around Mcdonalds at night. Gay.

Where I work as an apprentice, theres some 16 year old School leavers too. One of the lads has just bought a 1.4 Pug 206 as his first car. He's gotta have the boot full 'o subs and a daft loud exhaust, but you know the first thing he said to me when I asked him about it?

Seriously, even 16 year olds hate them now

It was, as the ones on classics aren't standard factory equipment and therefore must have been added after purchase... by someone anyway.
