looks VERY Schweeeeet Beven!
i have been liking the look of the last 3 series BMW indicators too... Anyone know if they would fit the indicator holes in an NA? Or of any other indicators on local cars which might fit?
Cheers

I remeber seeing a post in the old forum about someone fitting the Mini Cooper indicator vent, looked especially good on an NA blends in well with the retro styling .... not the Cooper S one though as that actually has an S imbedded in the vent. You need to cut the guard to fit it.. but nice mod.

Anyone remember that mod?

MX5 Mart in NZ sell them for $115 and they are made to fit the MX5 8)

They the same ones as from Mania but I got them from a UK website.

Sorry Steve, couldn't find anything like the BMW one but anything can be made to fit with a little custom work.

The 4 reflectors (on the bumper) just unscrew and pop out.

The actual indicators on the side of the car just pop out too. I'm pretty sure you pull them towards the front of the car and then pull out fairly hard. If that doesn't work, try pulling them towards the back first. :)

The car looks great Bevan, gotta love those clear lenses on That Blue not to mention those new blue ignition leads.
Mmmh .... your car is enough to make me become a closet blue brigade supporter :oops: . (Now need therapy because of this startling realization!!) :mrgreen:

Push them towards the front of the car and you will see a cutout in the back of the black surround. Carefully push a small flatblade screw driver in there to release the clip. If you look at the new ones you will be able to work out whats going on.

Dont forget to fit the orange bulbs before you put it all back together. The clear bulbs are a bit illegal.
