Default De-Tango tips ???

Just bought some crystal indicators and wondered about the orange 'cheese wedges'.

Is the orange colour actually paint on these or is it the colour of the plastic ? If it was paint I intended on soaking them in paint stripper overnight to take them back to the original black or do the same & spray them with the remaining RB5 paint I had for my spoiler.

Any input welcomed !

There black underneath, Just soak in paint stripper and remove the paint with a toothbrush,

You can paint them but it cost more and you'll get orange/brown come through when they stone chip.

Cheers Danny lad,

To be honest I dont think it'll hurt if I leave them the original black colour on mine as it'll look good against the RB5 paint.
