david_taylor Posted June 30, 2007 Posted June 30, 2007 Been wanting to detango the car for a while, so got LED side repeaters on yesterday. Only 15 pound on ebay! Also got the etch effect stickers from Gus yesterday so got them on to. Have ordered the crystal indicators, so detango should be complete early next week. Got to admit it transforms the look of the car. Dave
willie25 Posted June 30, 2007 Posted June 30, 2007 deffo, ive ordered mine last night side repeaters and front crystal indicators going to spray the plastic bits under the indicators too,yours looks better from the side now too.[Y]
david_taylor Posted June 30, 2007 Author Posted June 30, 2007 Cheers buddie. If its the same ones I ordered the side repeaters are a bit of a pain to put on. They do not come with clips, but with some adhesive tape. I had to snip the old wires then solder on the new ones, then fiddle with the adhesive to get it sitting correct! Worth it though
willie25 Posted June 30, 2007 Posted June 30, 2007 it certainly looks alot better now well worth the hassle[]
david_taylor Posted July 1, 2007 Author Posted July 1, 2007 Cant decide if I should spray the plastic bits black or silver. Any thoughts?
willie25 Posted July 1, 2007 Posted July 1, 2007 i would choose black but its up to you mate, im doing mine black, pretty good at spraypaintin so if you want me to help out with yours let me know, it wont be a problem, also just thot id mention my foremer brother in law has his own decal company in armadale and supplies and fits decals to all vehicles and can design whatever you want.
david_taylor Posted July 1, 2007 Author Posted July 1, 2007 Cheers for the offer. Black sounds the best idea and looks good on Marky TS's car. Not to bad at the spray painting since my 1st car which I done years ago. Shed of a Nova and had to do some amount of bodywork to sort it! My mate runs a garage up in Bonnybridge and the guy next door said I can use his spray gun. Not a fan of the decals, but hope you get some business through the site.
colzo Posted July 1, 2007 Posted July 1, 2007 The repeaters are a nice touch. IMO paint the wedges black, it will suit the car better. [Y]

david_taylor Posted July 7, 2007 Author Posted July 7, 2007 Painted Plastic bits during the week and picked up indicators from post office this morning. Thanks to Marky TS for answering my questions on doing this. Dave

[] Think I am going to just leave it like that just now. Happy just to get rid of all the orange bits. Think I need to start putting cash aside for some new 17" or 18" wheels. The standard ones are getting real tatty now, and would prefer new ones as apposed to reconditioning them. Road tax this month so no chance of it for a while! Damn tax man!
