where to get smoked tow eye covers
« on: 24 November 2008, 17:33 »
Ok, So im after a smoked set of fogs etc up front.

I didnt wanna pay silly money for them tho.

So Ive just won some smoked indicators on ebay for £3.20

Ive just taken my fogs to pieces and DIY'D them:



So now I just need the smoked tow eye covers, can these be bought separately?

Ive been looking at the standard ones and they aint gonna let me split them without cracking to sh!t

Cheers

yeah the genuine ones are 15 each so its 30 for the pair

the fogs look good btw, but you will have to use a hell of a lot of seakent to stop them leaking so bear that in mind

locktite stuff is very good, lots of other stuff at wicks/B&Q etc
