Where is the best place to get this kind of stuff? Im after crystal big bumper indicators and crystal side repeaters as ive just wired them in. Looked on ebay and i think nearly 20 for a set is quite expensive Also, Has anyone split a fog light? Im after taking the glass out but its stuck in. How long do i need to put it on the over for or is there a better way? Trying to recreate this look Cheers Mat
They're non-crystal indicators aren't they? Crystal looks awful anyway [] You might get away with just running a blade around the foglight glass to get them off?
The left one kinda looks like crystal but the right standard. I will take your word for it though as i was a bit suspect on crystal! What about the side ones, Does crystal look cack too? Ive got all the stuff around the glass but its stuck from the side really. I might just run the bandsaw straight accross the back of the glass, I will only loose 1-2mm.

I'm not really a fan of clear bits on MK2, much prefer black (not smoked) personally [] There are no side repeaters in your pic either, they're factory blanks by the looks of things. Get regular clear stuff like in your link anyway, crystal is sooo 2006 []
got crystal front lights on my black mk2 and i got my bits from Venom which were quite reasonably priced, looks superb.
I decided to go with the smoked crystal front indicators on mine, and used normal smoked side repeaters. They seem to go well with the car. Reason being is that i didn't want bright orange ones standing out, needed something subtle to go with the colour of the car. I was going to Lamin X the original orange ones but went for these in the end. Yours looks great in the first pic Mat
You should really put it back to it's Rallye fronted G60 guise, I f*cking loved that car when it looked like that
Ah venom, I forgot about them. I will have a look. It currently has black/smoked but they are very dark. Not sure I like them really. It looks abit DIY too. The side ones has wolfsberg badges over the holes but I've put repeaters back in as I think it would be good to have them on the track. Managed to find the feeds for them tucked up the chassis leg and knicked the harness from my breaker. Proper factory install!
Ha! It's come with no parts for that setup and not somthing I would buy. Won't be seen again for a while.
Your telling me! He just got a tube of mastic and stuck everything back together, Even stuck the wingmirrors in so they wouldnt adjust anymore! He sold all the good parts off it, Racing battery, Porsche handles, VDO's etc. All gone! Well done for Gillm for putting it back together as it is!
Clown, in his defense though somebody did pour brake fluid all over it so he had to have it resprayed, he at least kept the colour... It's a shame these untouchable classics get into the hands of these scene kids who just treat them like any other disposable MK2, the original G60 PM (in Vealige guise) went the same way
Oh great, thanks for that. I didn't know that happened! I guess it counts for the overspray everywhere as there is no way this car would have won anything in it's current condition. Do you have a link to any information on it from E38? I don't know the guys username that had it so it's a minefield! Cheers Mat
Its MCMLXXXV I had to search the cgti archives for that as i knew i had posted the name previously when Gillm had bought it
Cheers Nealey, I searched his posts but they only go back to August and i had the car by then so he didnt say much about it!
I can't find it, the search on that forum is worse than useless, the guys old build thread might be of some interest though?
I dont want to see them really Managed to grab all the pics from that thread for the album Intresting to see how its transformed. And also how shiney the paint is! Its got an inch thick of dust on it at the moment
