Standard. And who says you've set the standard? Other than yourself?

Council for me as well, imagine how boring this site would be if it was just full of boring OEM gay boys

Standard for me. But I'd probably go somewhere between the two (e.g. smoked indicators).

Standard for me and if your selling this will get the geniune enthusiasts interested. If it were mine and wasn't selling I'd smoke the lights but not as dark as your "council" version.

In all honesty it does look good both ways :wink:

Council does stand out more, but standard looks, well, less council...
I'd also go something inbetween and slightly less council but that's only my opinion, if you're selling up leave as close to standard, if keeping do as you please as it's your car.
