My car may be going in for crash repairs tomorrow! (at last) :lol: Meeting the insurance engineer at pentraeth (local stealers) tomorrow. Hopefully he will okay the work there and then. So the body shop can just get on with it. So this isnt to off topic, I'm getting my car repaired and sprayed by the same people that did Bens lights! :lol: Glad to see a fine example of there work! :lol: :lol: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jim 2 Posted September 23, 2004 Liking those all reds a LOT - they look totally OEM - though the slightly purple reverse light bit is a bit weirdy :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jedi-knight83 0 Posted September 23, 2004 so you say you got them from the dealers???? not keen on the purple but the red looks a good match for the lower half Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ben16v 0 Posted September 23, 2004 yeah i wouldn`t mind if they were all red but that purpley colour must be the colour of the laquer he sprayed over!!?? could this be a fix for the "how do i flash orange" problem!!?? i`ll ask when i get my other lights done and leave the white!
