It's Nigela,im also running these Indicators.I know what Alex means they are by no means OE quality and i would prefer OE ones but for £14 i thought they would do me fine.

Cheers for the comments guys

Yeah they come to around 21 or 22 pounds in total but still absolutely worth it IMO.

They look good!
My sidelights look awful next to my headlights! The comparison in condition is massive!
Deffinatly worth the money!!

Nothing a good go at with a machine polisher shouldn't fix

The probelm with the sidelights is they become very mouldy & dirty inside after a couple of years.
Mine always steam up and the damp creates mould & grime which is unavoidable.

The mould is grim. On mine It looks like a little world is growing along the inside edges

Despite what the seller says, I'm gonna assume this ISN'T genuine?

Gave the rear wheels a good clean this evening, applied some poorboys wheel sealant (much easier applied by hand). While that was curing i tried to give the arches a bit of a clean but because I don't have a pressure washer it wasn't so successful so instead I tried to give the callipers a bit of a clean.

They look much neater now but could ideally do with a few coats of paint as they're rather faded.

Put the wheels back on with some brand new bolts I bought a while back after one of them snapped off in the hub.

Look clean dude, I sealed the Ronals the other day, how many coats did you put on? It's so much easier when the wheels are off the car.

Where I cleaned them on the grass at home is now a big patch of dead grass and mud. My dad was piiiiised!!

Cheers Chris

2 coats per wheel. I'd imagine my grass is going to end up the same. Clean wheels (acid) doesn't go well with grass... And in fact, as I type this, to my right my dad is standing at the back window exclaiming how there's two big dark circles on the grass. Oops.
