Thats vomiting worthy allot lol!

What made u get them?

Iv just put red bulbs in my red lights already and they are like super red, think all red suits it better!

[6N2 GTI 00]

I think they would look great on a red or silver GTI but I dont think they work too well on a Black 6N2.

They certainly dont look bad, its just I think I prefer the OEM lights

Ben,

Thinking about going a bit more Jap style on it over the winter, for shits and giggles...

Amber side repeaters and sling the Fox multispokes on (which, if you recall from my previous posts, are painted in a Subaru colour).

It'd look different!

[Si_GTi]

Ordered some amber side repeaters...

If it doesn't work out I'll just flog the lot on eBay.co.jp ha ha ha!

[Si_GTi]

Central locking pump failed on me a few days ago so after getting fed up of climbing through the boot (I've delocked my door handles) I popped a new one in thanks to joe2612

Originally thought that the old one had gotten wet or sat in condensation BUT after removing the power plug and having a good look at the contact on the old pump, the pins have a sort of greeny-coloured residue on them which would suggest some form of corrosion over time? Also, the replacement pump sounds a lot healthier and "faster" when in action. My old one made a longer sort of "groaning" noise when in operation!

Anyway. All good. Quick phone pic from yesterday, got my amber side repeaters on!

[Tim_GTi]

Haha they're brilliant

Looking very retro Si - impressive

do i notice the euro fogs are no more?

[mk4 glx 1.6]

You need some orange front indicators now as opposed to clear. It would bring the rear lights/side repeaters/fogs look all together. Really not a fan of the JDM lights but with the rest tied in they look ok......ish !

Jap spec. surely means you need a bean can exhaust and lexus lights though?

Jap spec just has a smaller numberplate recess so you can have a square or shorter plate mounted. Makes the rear look fatter

[Si_GTi]

Alex, yes the euro foglights have now been reversed back to original. I felt that with the rear lights, side repeaters and potentially front side repeaters being retro/poverty/jap spec it is a bit too much!

Anyone got any ideas on where I might find some original orange front side repeaters? I am pretty certain though, that they are not available as OEM parts from VW because all 6N2s came with clear units.

Cheers for the comments everyone!

[alexperkins]

Perhaps orange tinting spray then I dont beleive they did - maybe a similar model may provide something useable.

[Tim_GTi]

I vote put the fog vinyl back on and leave out the front indicators!

[Trottagti]

Take the lenses to a body shop n ask to have the clear coat tinted to an amber and that should acheive ur required result mate!

What Size tyres do you have on the G60 steels Si???

I am purchasing some G60 wheels next week but im not too sure what people recommend for the tyre size.

I have got a set of 4 Yokohoma 195/45/R15 tyres that I think are suitable and as I noticed you were rolling on G60's so I thought I would ask the Question

Ben,

[alexperkins]

Most people roll 195/45/15s on G60s as its the best for the rim. I think si's are that but cant 100% remember.
