Orange vs Clear Indicators on Avus Blue
What do you reckon? Orange or Clears (front only) on Avus Blue?

Anyone got any pics of both?

I'm not liking my clears these days - anyone got any orange lenses they dont want?

I may have some in about two weeks time as my car is having a complete Xenon HID kit installed. This should improve my visibility and the look of the car. Orange on Rosso Red is not good.

Will keep you posted regarding when the transplant takes place.

Well I like them and it is a small mod that you can change back pretty easily so take your pick.

Checked on Autotrader and the orange front ones look better in my opinion.

That Touring is exactly how my car looks right now. (Nice car!)

Yes
Clear indicators really suit the darker metallics.

Off topic :- Simon, your Touring is just a lovely thing.
Its the only Touring I would ever buy.
A real credit to you.

Off topic..
Hi Karl
Ive seen Simons car & its the most cared for Touring ive seen.
Ive seen several other Tourings too.
Theres a few rough ones in the UK so thats my basis for comparison.

Im sure your car & Georges car from the land of chocolate are stunning examples so if you are giving yours away, I accept your kind offer
