Meh. I prefer all white. Those yellow and orange ruin the cleam look IMO. If you're got multi-coloured other parts and want to keep up the theme, then go for it.

I prefer the orange look myself now, the clear looks cheaper (and I've done clear) I've actually bought orange indicators for my evo (to replace the clear that are on there)

Are you blocking off enough of your front mount there?

Also, white bonnet, silver car, black grille + lip spoiler and grey fog light covers. Is it due for painting?

Gaz - yes its to keep grubby mits off whilst working on the car, the cars not moved in over a year so its not going to be doing much cooling anyway, and yes it is due for a paintjob.

Mr rocket thats thrown a spanner in the works lol, i like it! anyone else?

Yes (as I said above) I like it. But in the UK the corner lights are the side lights in white! Not sure you'll get away with running orange corner lights (like USA in pics) Or are you thinking of wiring them up for 2 sets of indicators?

Not for me, don't like the orange at all I Think it makes the car look really old fashioned, but that's just my opinion.

Agree with the above. I do think the yanks turn out some pretty good looking cars, but the orange sidelights look a bit crap IMO
