    Opinions on an idea..

    Black Calibra turbo... currently has the standard orange nipple style indicator repeaters..

    2 options that im playing with.

    A: Some clear ovals, yer we know that they look ok.

    B: Smooth the holes in the wings and mod some LED's into the wing mirrors with a lens in.. will it look rubbish?

    Whats best? No im not trying to turn it into a mercades(sp) lol

    Do premade mirrors exist with the lights in? Any gen?

    Cheers

    B. So long as you get a good job done.

    Clear ovals look good but are starting to look more standard now because a lot of people are getting them.

    Smoothed wing and LED's in the mirrors would be more original.

    iv got a good set of mirrors and a crap set (currently on the car) but i dunno how i could make a lens for the LEDs.. a cluster of them with no cover will probably look rubbish

    A local window joiner or local school's tech department should be able to shape perspex?

    If you could flush them in it would be ok.

    Needs to be viewable from the side and from the front for it to be legal!!
