Trailblazers

[L14MNP]

Who remembers these?

The crap reflective panels that stick on the back of a car and were intended to make it look as though the rear lights continued along the whole back of the car.

This is the name I've always know them as anyway. Very '90s' lol

The best/worst feature of them was that the material never matched that of the cars original lights. lol

[phazer]

I remember those!! They even had the name of the car shadowed in them. There used to be loads of cavs kicking around with them on.

[Spudly]

Aye iirc they were quite popular on 205's although google fails to turn up any images!

Aha that's one. lol

The ones with the writing on don't pretend to be the lights though.

So gash. So 90's. Fcuk knows why I just thought of them. lol

[Southie]

I liked them on 205's lol Would of looked awesome if it lit up on braking lol

[L14MNP]

GTi panels used to look the best on 205's lol. Now poverty spec does. :)

My neighbour had a one with the fake indicators on etc for his Saab 9000. lol

[draper]

I vaguely remember them, I remember cavs being very 'chavved' up tho in that era, much like a lot of vectras today, seems doley families need to mod there family wagons whatever the era

The slatted blind thing on the rear window i mean lol

[draper]

Limp wants a slatted rear window already lol

[L14MNP]

Fcuk off dissing window louvres! They rock lol.

I lost one on eBay for the Volvo - at £175! lol

[EDIT] see above for the word on the street. lol They're worth loads now. I won a mk1 Escort one for about £20 and sold it for over £200.

[L14MNP]

Some don't have them. If that's an OEM offering it's horrendous lol. The colours don't even match up! :)

These are so from the 'Citrine yellow RS kitted mk1 Mondeo with 'Mondeo' along the door bottoms era' lol

and illuminous Cav hatches with italic 'badges' and number plates rolling on Blades. lol

[Spudly]

Its an oem thing on carlssons bud lol

[L14MNP]

Tasty. lol

*applies Fido Dido sticker to Orion Ghia*

Spud, if you find a louvre for anything and it's cheap get it mate. If you find one for a Volvo 340/360 let me know! The pipe n slippers club never knew about the one I bid on. Twas brand new too. I was certain it was mine! :(

Cool as on the right motor IMO.

[draper]

Fido dido, 3yeas ago my mate had a orion with an RST motor, fido dido stickers and 17" venoms - daddy cool lol

[L14MNP]

IMO that covers one of the coolest things about the mk1 Mondeo saloon - the black rear panel.

My friend is on her third and used to love it how the fogs come from nowhere behind the middle rear panel. lol

I don't mind those too though. Looks right IMO. That mk1 CRX on the other hand... lol

[phazer]

Blimey, the new subaru doesn't half look like a modern 323!!

They were around on 944's too, possibly oem option? would have to talk to my mate about that one to confirm lol

Was about to say, my 323's got a tailblazer and it looks finelol

by the way, not to be a perfectionist or anything, but that GTR has a UK spec tailblazer with J-spec rear lamps, hence the tailblazer isn't inline with it at the top:thumb:

oh and its also missing the sideskirts lol

[staggy_gsi]

Fido dido, 3yeas ago my mate had a orion with an RST motor, fido dido stickers and 17" venoms - daddy cool lol

hehe, up until january i had a fido dido sticker on my sunstrip on my cav! i love fido dido lol, sad i know. they sell em on ebay, theres quite a few, i had the one with his fingers up lol

[Graeme]

I remember some cars having them and the rear plate being poorly relocated so it could be fitted

[Novasport]

They are tailblazers not trailblazers iirc, heres one on a Sport...
