Spot the difference:

Just kidding, I've got hold of a some clear side repeater lenses and was wondering about fitting to my chromie

I like the look of clear lenses but they are a more contemporary look and I don't can't decide if it'll look right on a chromer.

What do you think?

Well that's pretty unanimous!

I did think it might look a bit wrong.

I'll keep them as they are.

Cheers fellas,

I know how popular this comment will be, but would you wear red and orange together?

No because the colours clash.

Would you decorate a room in your house red and orange?

No because the colours clash.

Personally if I had a chromie I would try smoked ones that would blend into the black bit of the bumper
