The other option was to paint them black and get wing mirror indicators but that could be a lot of effort with a poor result

Nice one. Had a look online, loads on eBay in the states but none here. Shipping is as much as they are lol

 

Did you get them yourself or we’re they on the car?

yeah I got mine of ebay from the states, like you say shipping is as much as the item but they do look a lot better than the orange lens....

Ive got clear ones on my 370 but may swap them for the smoked later on..

New fans fitted but started spraying out coolant from the rad so new one on its way. Only driven it a few times since it arrived but hopefully that will change come Wednesday

Updates from the last week

 

Koyo radiator fitted, no longer spraying coolant from the front whacky races style 

 

Also tinted the amber lenses. Was thinking of doing it as a temp measure but I might just stick with them. Left a sticker over the middle reflector so that’s not tinted but might give the whole thing one more coat

 

Considering new black lenses cost around 45, this cost me nothing as I had some tint spray left over, even that was under a quid lol

 

Before:

Also not had a chance to detail it yet but had a meet yesterday so gave it a quick detail after a quick wash, not a bad base point, should look good once the da comes out

Also I’m thinking to neaten up the front end I might have the vent surrounds painted black? Was originally thinking of a new bumper but this caught my eye. Different lip on that one but same idea

Looking good.

Just looked back at how the front end looked to begin with.

Very ad-hoc in comparison with how it looks now.

Mods are so classy and subtle.

I reckon most parking wardens wouldn't know what to write on a parking ticket if you parked illegally.

Would a parking ticket still be valid if all they wrote was 

"Make...... UNKNOWN....model..... UNKNOWN..... Colour....RED!"

:lol:

Lol good point. Most people looking at the car at yesterday’s meet didn’t know what it was- and they’re car enthusiasts lol

Snapped these up from @lmc, will have them on in time for knockhill. Long term they will be refurbished, just deciding on colour scheme

Only just seen this, :surrender:.  Always had a soft spot for the 350GT, nice mods so far mate, subtle but distinct all at the same time.  Have followed.

These cars make 19s look tiny- they’re worse than zeds lol. 17s on R33s and S14s don’t look out of place even though they’re longer cars

I remember in the 80s, if you had 15s on your E30 BMW 325i you were a Don :lol:

Can't beat the feeling of nice new shoes on your chariot though, especially a classy set of 5 spokes :thumbs:

Spent 6 hours cleaning it today. Wash with gyeon bathe+, clay, wash again, black hole glaze, nattys paste wax

 

When I was washing I couldn’t use my hose as the tap is leaking so I had to use a watering can. My neighbours already thought I was daft but today confirmed it :lol: 

 

All set for knockhill tomorrow 

 

After claying:
