Smile Your Opinion... Colour Code MY00 Wedges on Red Car + Indicators...

Well my motor's booked in the body shop this Tuesday to have have an MY00 complete front end fitted, I can't wait....

I've noticed that the orange wedges that go below the indicators are actually orange (from subaru)- just wondering whether to have them colour coded red to match the bumper or not to bother?....

The cars red anyway so I don't think they're too visible.... Was also thinking about leaving the front indicators and side repeaters orange as I don't think they look to bad on red cars.... What do people think?........

Matt.

get some crystal ones - just done this to my DBM MY00 and the difference is amazing.

Also, there's loads of pics of red wagons / saloons in members gallery with crystal indicators, if you see those, you'll soon change your mind about sticking with the orange.

Had mine from TSL - see more on wildsworld..

Think that they were 70 quid for fronts and 20 ish for sides. Full details of fitting, including pics on my lights section

Just spent the past 10 minutes checking out different cars....

I.M.O. I don't like crystal/white side repeaters on a Red car, they stand out far too much, I'm stopping with orange as it blends in and doesn't stand out as much. I think they look perfect on silver cars, but not on red. (flame jacket on!)

Will definately get the wedges for the MY00 bumper colour coded so they blend in and I think a set of crystal front indicators are needed for sure!....

Can't wait to put all the pics on here.

I've got the car in original form, crashed form and then there will be modified form!...

No need for flame jacket - each to his/her own....

I'll take a look at the pics when done -

Cheers,

Mark

You will be converted See another red one with the business done in the metal and you will see the light

Silver wedges are the way forward - as long as you have the indicators done
Not red but you get the idea.
