I've not seen them look as good as that before, there are some others on ebay for £25 but compared to those in the pics above, they look crap.
I refuse to pay £50 for them though.

They do look a lot better than one i've seen. They are a wee bit over priced

, and buy the time you've got the side repeaters your talking silly money.

Adam... I got a set for mine off Ebay. They come complete with the reflector housing, which means if you want maximum 'crystal' effect, you gotta take the bumper off to replace it.
Mine also came with side lights built in too, so you get the indicator bulb AND a sidelight bulb built into the housing... very American!
Not got round to fitting the housing yet, just the lense. Still looks pretty good though.
Didn't pay that though, only £27 + P&P - Was a while ago now though... 'bout a year.
No pics as my Sport is away having a nip 'n' tuck at the mo...

There are enough adverts for aftermarket mechandise filling the pages
Anyway, i bet those ebay ones are crap quality.

I've already tried that and there doesn't seem to be much in the mags. I've foundone place but they're the same price. I thinkt he ebay ones will be decent quality, I've bought stuff from Linwar before and have always been pleased with their products.
Anyone up for a group buy on these if I can arrange it?

Okay... I'm negotiating a group buy now for these, the guy I spoke to about these is getting back to me with the price we can have them for and the number required to get the discount.
I've posted separately in the Group Buy section, please put your name down if interested.
Thanks

So these are front indicators only? What about pre-facelift cars? If i get clear fronts, i will want matching clear sides too. Does he do those as well?
Adam, my public appologies mate, ive totally forgotten about the smoked front lenses! I have had your tenner for ages and i will get the lenses off to you When i go to college monday morning mate.

Well that's your opinion, I don't think they look rice at all. They just modernise it a little more and give it a cleaner look. It's not as if they're in the same league as lexus lights.
Take a look at the Mk1 Golf crew, they all put crystal lights on their cars and it makes them look so much newer whilst keeping the retro look.

Crystal Clear lights are spanking, imho they suit the E30 and Mk1 & Mk2 Golfs down to the ground.

Have you got a front end pic mate, I'd like to see how that looks, I've never really been a fan of smoked tbh.
For anyone wanting side repeaters as well, I@ll be calling the guy tomorrow to see if they can get these.

Logic tells you that the smoked ones would look best - but I am not sure they do match, I think I prefer the look of the front of Simons touring with the clear ones...hmmm maybe if the fogs were tinted too...
Yours still looks bloody nice though...

can someone photoshop the options so we can all see the differences
it might convince some more to buy if we see how they look compared to the original, smokes, clears and crystals
