I'm after some opinions of what I should do with the orange blank under the front indicator when I replace with a clear unit.

What colour should I paint it? (Black or White)

Got any pics you can post of this done already?

My car

Thanks

 

Halfords can do you a tin of your own colour



Incidentally - the wedges are actually black, apparently if you leave them in thinners overnight all the orange will have come off.

 

May try that first thanks mate - anyone got a pic in white or silver?

 

go black I think, mine are, but mine's a white car. wouldnt put mine in thinners overnight just in case they are just a blob in the morning, thinners melts some plastics.

 

White on mine, why not colour coded

 

clear on mine, cos i dont have any fitted lol

bumpers on tho
never botherd swapping the foglamps over, currently going for the type RA stripped to **** look lol

 

Black for me........

Thanks for the pics and replies so far

I am leaning towards Black! But has anyone got a close up of a silver classic with clear lights and a black wedge?

Thanks

Thanks mate.

 

Left mine in thinners overnight and with a nail brush rubbed off the orange paint. Bare in mind you will probably have to recoat them if colour coding due to stone chips, i just left mine black and tbh cant tell the difference with mine being a dark colour.

On yours tho I would colour code.

 

how do they come out? scared of just yanking them

 

Mines a 00MY and its easiest to just take the indicator out and push them from behind easy

 

Use a screwdriver and pop them out, there are 4 pretty flexible clips that should not break! Didn't have a problem in getting them out.

Personnally wouldn't recommend using thinners or such like! Found that the time needed to make the paint thin enough to scrap off made the plastic part a little more flexible than originally intended - I also wasn't happy with the finish it left!

Not bothered as I thought this may happen but wanted to give it a go anyway, trial and error, so I'm now looking for a couple of cheap black wedges to replace!

 

i colour coded mine, word of warning though halfords are crap at matching 64c Green mica, (it wasnt even metallic!!!!) in the end i got a spray made up from the subaru dealers & it was a perfect match for about the same prce as the halfords crap!
