So we have all seen the pics of the 03... so what do all us poor 01/02 owners do to rejuvinate the rear end of our motor cars to out-pose the rather pleasant 03 rear end?

Well the answer comes in the shape of these little beauties.. Just arrived this morning.. Just about to drop to the paint shop to stick on Pater's motor.. but this should keep you going!

Might do some fancy masking as per our headlights.. but these are pretty trick in standard form painted just body colour.

Made by some backstreet sweatshop called Morrette.. think the quality will be OK then

£275.00 plus VAT (£323.13 inc).. standing by ....







Cheers

Skyline-Tastic! Well, maybe...Need to see them on a car. I just hope they don't look too "busy" with all those lenses.

They look a little "cluttered" ? Maybe you could modify the format a little and use LEDs as per the TVR rear ? Might allow you to cut down on the number of circles ...

Just my opinion though

i think i jumped backwards

theres to much happening with the lights. i know there is a large area to fill but they should have kept it simple. "LESS IS MORE"

Where the picture of the rear lights that someone did in photoshop with two round red lights with a white round light in the middle?

dear god.....what horrors....

they rate just slightly behind the bi-level STi spoilers and semtex for "Horrific Things You Can Do To Your Impreza"....

ideal though if you use your car for "smacking up your biatch" though....

I suppose at least now the bugeyes can look gopping from either end now

PS. I don't like them

Trouser,

They are even worse than the Lexus lights (if that's possible). Sorry, don't like them at all

Beware of people phoning up asking about putting them on "their chariot"

Just IMHO

I don't like them. IMO, the standard lights are by far the best looking.

I think they'd look really cool on a Scoob with chrome mirrors, neons, flip paint and oversized exhaust.

However, on a Scoob with taste, they (IMO) suck big style.

Reckon the French are taking the peeeeeeees out of us with those lol.

I'm not keen basically

The best bit is the price (As usual) £323 all in, i dont think so, how come you can buy Evo rear Lexus style lights for £169 + Vat and the Subaru alternatives cost another £100.Me thinks, dealers are taking our trousers down and dont even have the decency to use Vaseline.

Alex
To answer your question there has to be a minimum order of 4000 for those to be put into manufacture ! At the moment the suppliers dont think that is likely as they would need to sell 4000 sets in 2 years to cover the tooling costs of £80,000 to £100,000 ! Unless you can get a big list of wagon owners this isnt going to happen !!!!
