SIDE REPEATERS

Post by tim leech »

I want to change the siderepeaters on my car to more a modern clear type, but Im not spending a fortune, Ive seen you can get "universal" ones from various motor factors, plus direct replacemnet squrae ones on ebay but I would like a smoother more teardrop shape.

Anyone suggest any that are any good or have used themselves and they fit easily, IM NOT adapting the wing to fit lol

Thanks

hi tim,
early 16v side repeators just have the orange plastic bit but 1.4's etc have that but with the rubber bit around the plastic indicator bit. i have 1.4 side repeators on mine as they look quite alot more modern even although they are nearly the same. that bit of rubber can make them look 10 years more modern.

i prefer the rubberised ones to the straight cut ones (bought new ones at the stratford meet on the grounds they where £1 each and saved me cleaning the backs of the existing ones! :D )

I've heard a viscious rumour that Picasso ones will fit (though worry they will look escort chav ish) problem is, there recessed into the body work a little so i cant imagine they can be turned, thus not convinced they will fit!

Have had ago at the ones on my dads picasso but they dont turn easily and i will get executed if i try and fail to take them off!

But the picasos lives in the garage in a nice area of the world!

That said he parks daily in a car park in liverpool surprisingly close to my uni! Good thought!
