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?

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.

how do u remove the old orange indicators and replace them with the new clear indicators.

could the same thing be done with the tail lights and replaced with clear tail lights.

im not sure but i think the previous owner tinted my tail lights, either that or they very very very dirty.

they blow

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. :)
