The morrettes where fitted when I bought it, but with a small amount of spare cash at the end of a trip to TSL, here's the complete de-tango'ed look...

I'm sure I'm not the only person to love the morrettes but hate the original orange indicator bulb. Side repeater is TSL's Ultra jewel model, both side and front have nice silver bulbs in...









Many thanks to wonder-wheels for turning the discs rusty-coloured for the photo... Will have to test the ABS to clean them up as usual ;-)

Waddaythink ?

Thumbs up

Nice pics , only use wonder wheels if you really have to , I've found it kills the alloys if you use it too much, much better to just clean with shampoo and polish every now and then .That way the dirt comes off easy without wrecking the wheels

Very nice, think the same should be done on my Wagon, damn orange plastic stands out like a sore thumb on the dark blue paint....then to sort those bug eyes out!

For less than the cost of the Morrettes, Longdogs did the cook the bugeyes in the oven, separate, remove orange bit, spray mat black, reasemble and serve with a nice helping of suitably coloured bulbs. I'll take the camera to work tomorrow and see if he'll let me snap his front end for a comparison...

Dox
