Title: side repeaters. what options?
Post by: mk3_oxford on 18 April 2007, 21:27

i have the crystal clear side repeaters on my oak green at the minute. i fancy changing them to something a bit more subtle. what other options are there?

ive seen some dark ones that stick out slightly and they looked great but can no longer find them. any ideas?

Smoked.  :cool: Or Wolfsburg badges if you can get it through the MOT.

I've got some smoked ones on mine that came from eurocarparts think they were about £8.
Very dark and blend in a treat, my only complaint would be that they have moulded lettering on them like OEM repeaters, they would have been better with a totally smooth finish.

As daft as it sounds chavfords had the best quality side repeaters I ever got out of three pairs that I bought. The others I got from from ECP (sh1te) and awesome-gti (really sh1te).

They are definately very variable, my first pair from SWG were so bad they went straight back in the post. The second pair I picked up at a show went straight to my mate when I realised I'd need to file the wings slightly. The pair I've got were only meant to be temporary til I found some better ones but they've been on there a year now.

Sounds like I better check out chavfords........anybody got a paper bag :grin:

Gibby were they specifically for a golf or a generic type repeater???

Tobz, they were clear ones and I put them on my Rivage. I think they will be the same fitment as they are on a mk2, they may have been generic, but they were the same shape and size etc as the ones I'd got from ECP & Awesome. I can't remember if they said they were specifically for a Golf though, but they probably were. They were actually German too, but this was a while ago that I got them now. Worth an undercover squint in chavfords though. I also got some silver side repeater bulbs to totally hide the yellow, they weren't cheap either.

...and yes, side repeaters are now for wimps. :laugh:

I find oval clashes with the generally boxy lines of a mk2 and looks weird  :laugh: 

ps. sorry!
