Title: Valver rear lights
Post by: mattneck(Beavis) on 13 June 2007, 01:32
Only a quick one, didnt think it'd be worth cosmetic matters.. and here more pople might give an opinion.. stuck 16v lights on mine, as i'm probably selling em and getitng bac what I paid anyway, cause I don;t like them against the white, they look a little off, against a dark colour absolut perfect like.. but against mine, hmm.. the misus really doesn't like them at all, I'm undecided, what's everyone else think? I wanted ones that are white/red in the same vein as the standard plastic. but the 16vs keep the black and white theme.. although my front bumper indicators are clear to math the front lights, and look ace, so then i don't know if my side repeats should be smokey or white.. arrgh!

Options - Sell the 16vs and get my money back, go back to standard till I can find what I want exactly, maybe a red white pair.. red white rear and smoke sides, standard and smoke sides, or standard and clear/white sides or red/white rear and clear/white sides..  dilemma, what's everyone think  :undecided:

if the valvers go, they're going to a good home friday to mr J Mallows.. he's got a black car = i think suited better to them

Can you stick some photo's up of the options, cos it's hard to work out without seeing it ?

rear undecided.. many people say yes, my dad reckons theyre good there and theyve grown on me but im undecided.. the misus thinks it ruins it is the other thing, i think the red looks a little weird poking out against the white like that with the rest of the colour coding..?

Yeah Ithink the M3 style (top ones) I know quite a lot of poeple have these (myself included) but there's a reason!

They look by far the best IMO - especially on a white car.

crystal i feel look too modern compared to the rest of the car.. and taxi boy - defo wouldnae go blue! haha.

think the clear and red are the way forward, a lot more subtlety there.. which is what im after

also thikning now of standard 8v backbox, to fill the cut there.. and the misus has made this up for me..

The red/clear rear lights look best. But the valver rears aren't bad.
The valver splitter would look good too, then find a set of cheap P-Slot or bottletop alloys to set it off.

I like the 16v rears best (or all red?) with clear side repeaters  :smiley:

Post by: JMallows on 18 June 2007, 17:03
I like either the standard ones, or the half clear/white ones... :P But thats only cos you cant have the smoked ones back :P

What do you think of them on my car then?! I think they look pretty cool, and thanks again for the excellent deal we did :)
