i've got afterburners and think they suit the style of the other mods that ive put on the car but then ive seen some novas with clear rears that look well sweet. all depends on the look you want :wink:

If i get afterburners, what di i do about the indicators?

General Baxter

afterbuners you get stop/tail & indicators

i would be more worried about fog and the reflectors

The reflectors are nearly always an issue on aftermarket Nova lights. I've had clear and now tinted and both needed separate red reflectors! You can get them with built in ones but in my opinion they aren't as neat.

I've still got to buy a caravan fog light so that I can get it through the MOT but he's right about not needing the reversing light. are the reflectors that important? nobodies said anything to me about them before

Yep, police when giving the car a good going over 'suggested politely' I need to get them and stick them on the bumper as they apparently have to be below the line of the lights? Which I'm not sure is correct as I'm sure cars have it above sometimes?

thats unlike police to give people grief for driving a non-factory standard car. think reflectors on your bumper could be the finishing touch you know. :roll:

Are they a standard replacement or are they a pain to fit??

Al Wilson

Straight replacement mate if you're taking about the lights. Get them from lots of places but don't be fooled by the cheap and cheerful ones - they're crap.

it is a joke how expensive rear lights are but cheered me up the other day when a friend of mine with a mk2 mr2 told me he paid ?120 for clear front indicators and was planning on spending ?200 on rear lenses(they did look well sweet though). definately put things into perspective. Think I'l save my money and get some wanker lights

Potswalker
23-07-04, 10:00 AM
was supposed to say wanker lights. very different to wank lights :oops:

Potswalker

i think quadconversions do them? not sure though?

Potswalker
23-07-04, 10:41 AM
quad conversions do afterburners yeah. think if you look around you can get them for about ?80 but some people ask up to ?120. shop around.
