following on from this thread:-

http://www.scoobynet.co.uk/bbs/threa...hreadid=140687

Ok so i was going to buy the new Morette rear clusters or my O1 without even seeing them. I have seen the job they do on front lights & I have their body kit on my car, so I thought they would produce a decent set of rear clusters

BUT this is what they came up with:-



My current rear end looks like this:-





In my opinion my rear end looks much better & costs half the price once the painting is included.

Isn't it time that these styling companies asked the owners what they wanted ? Isn't Scoobynet a good place to have maybe tested the water ????
Does anyone on Scoobynet have the facilities to produce some clusters that we might actually like ?

I appreciate that these are my views & I may have got it totally wrong but I dont think I have !

Maybe Morrette wanted to make a car that looked the same way reversing as it did going forwards

WHHHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAA
Oh dear, I see what you mean.
looks more like a TVR speed 12 but in reverse

stick with your current rear end,
much less of a 'cluster ****'

Question

What are all the lights for?
I can count;

1) Night light
2) Brake light
3) Reverse light
4) Fog light

What's the extra one?

Dont you use indicators?

indicator + reverse + brake + side + fog = 5 lights

Paul,

I know you want to be different but I would suggest waiting to see what they look like on the TSL car.

The publicity photgraphs arent very nice, I'm sure sure Josh would have something to say about them.

Also Brendan you g1t! I had also had a coffee incident, thankfully I was using a laptop so I hit the window instead!

Someone post the pic up on a Nova/Saxo BBS, I bet the response is a little different.

Heres a quick sneak preview of the new Impreza rear cluster prototype which an alternative manufacturer is making which is due out in March next year !

In my opinion I think it looks a lot less cluttered ! I think i will be waiting for this one instead !
