Default Body coloured reflectors? MY01.

IIRC sombody does fender reflectors that can be painted up to match the car colour. But can I find them on-line? Can I **** as like.

Can anyone tell me who does em? And has anyone used them?

And what the f**k are they for in the first place - are there any MOT implications for not having shiny bits there?

TIA for any advice regarding removing the Tango'ed look!!

I was told they are something to do with the american market, so have no bearing on the MOT, Ant decent bodyshop should be able to fabricate some and paint them at the same time.

Just changed mine for crystal ones, and although they look nice they dont seem to fit very well.

If you do find where they are let me knoe please

I've bought clear crystal ones, then saw another WRX with body coloured ones which looked even better, just flattened mine with wet & dry (removed the raised lettering on them) and had them sprayed, look great...

They are for American market running lights (I think that's thr right term). I have crystal ones to go with the crystal side indicators and original headlamps (which are crystal like). Looks good as a package, but I guess may not look so good if you have morettes or a different type side indicator.

Thanks. Thought about the crystal ones, but also think body-coloured would look best, so unless someone knows where they can be bought, I'll probably either adapt some cheap ones, or spray the orange ones already on there, or get some made up.

If I find someone who can fabricate something similar, but not in reflective-type plastic, I'll let folks on here know.

Any more suggestions?

As has been suggested, do what I did with my old MY02, got a second set of orange reflectors, (free from authorised Subaru body shop) sanded then down to remove the writing on them and then got them sprayed body colour.
