Some light entertainment for you all.
Among other things I've done this afternoon, I carried out a slight modification on the car. Can you spot it?
Actually, I need some opinions as to what you think about it.
Here's the before & after pics...

You're too sharp eyed mate - you weren't supposed to notice that scrape (which I didn't do).
And I didn't polish it either, just a quick(ish) wash and leathered off.
But dead right otherwise though Simon

I fancied trying these 'Crystal' ones so that they'd match the front indicators. Just a sensible, subtle, tasteful mod I thought.
Mind you, they don't match the rear ones. But can they ever? 
Been looking at my pictures again and thinking that it looks like I've done the job in a 'Photoshop' program. But I haven't. I must've taken the second one from an almost identical place to the first.

Craig... I'm sure you will persevere and get a picture up here sometime. I can't get into the readers wives section for some reason  but I have always liked your blue ones - they look good.
Likewise with yours too Baz. Are they 'black' black or kinda smokey? Whatever, they look well.
Geoff... There's all sorts of colours around. It really depends what colour your bodywork is as to what will suit.
By the way, you'll find a few on e-bay as well as other outlets. They seem to be about 15 quid (mine came nice 'n' cheap)

Hmm... the crystal ones are much more expensive than colours it seems.
Just found this selection on E-bay... Scorpio Side Repeaters

Ok, old "stick in the mud" here likes his orange ones. I think they work better with the green I've got.
Having said that, I think Paul, Baz and George have the right colour for their cars. Will look to see how other colours work with Tourmallard at the next meet (if anybody has changed over) and then decide.
Nice photos guys. Another interesting topic to ponder...

Thanks you guys.
I was toying with the idea of smoked repeaters on mine - thought they might go well with the Aubergine paintwork.
I feel much more inclined to go buy some, now...
