Default MY99/00 crystal front bumper indicators off ebay.

I bought a pair of the crystal side indicators off ebay as a replacement after my 1st set from (ggr) got damaged (only LH side).
However once they arrived I noticed that the new indicators were different to my 1st set. The outer clear lense casing had a ribbed effect and they did not look as good compared to my 1st set.

I am now thinking of getting the front bumper indicators but as usual there seem to be a few sellers. The prices vary from £28 to £45; some show the same product but different prices.
From looking at the pictures there are definitely 2 variations of crystal indicators?
I just don’t want to buy the same ribbed type lense casing

Who has actually bought the front bumper crystal indicators (MY99/00) off ebay
Can you remember the seller?
Was the product as shown in the picture or slightly different?

Thanks Ticky

That doesn't sound good.

I am not usually a ebay type person but after my 1st set got damaged, I just wanted a quick replacement. The price was a lot cheaper & I did not really pick up on the 2 differences (lenses).

Can you explain the fitment issue?

Who was the seller, pm if me if you prefer?

Had a quick look at the GGR website & found the same front indicators I am after. So I called them to confirm the price & postage cost as they seemed cheap compared to other scooby dealers.
The white indicators are more than the crystal effect, which I thought was odd?
Anyway the ebay prices were a few pounds cheaper, so I search again on ebay but under GGR. The same crystal indicators came up but even cheaper than their shop price as well as the postage cost?

So I have placed a order (buy it now price) from the GGR ebay.
Once they turn up I will let you know if they are any good sharpydoo.
