Can anyone point me to a link to something that looks better than those horrid orange plastic bits under the front indicators on a MY00 Turbo?

It's common for people to repaint those orange plastic wedges. Do a search for "orange wedges" on Scoobynet - you'll find a number of threads. People either tend to paint them black or body-colour. I did mine with paint from Halfords. Sanded the wedges down, a couple of coats of matt grey primer, a few top coats of body-colour paint (which they made up and canned for me). The, finish it off with a few coats of clear lacquer. Just remember to let it all dry properly before you try and refit the wedges to the car!

Easy job

just get the paint code off your VIN plate under the bonnet, tell Halfords it they will mix up colour, wash the wedges then spray paint them!!!
