...yeah yeah I know, but I'm a woman so that's my prerogative s'there! Anyway, my latest dilemma is whether to go for the afterburners on my Chim or not.

You peeps were all so great helping me decide on whether to fit colour coded side repeaters (even though I...erm...changed my mind at the last minute ) so any opinions would be greatly appreciated

Big Al...I know what you'll say (woman's intuition)

If you've got the Cash to spend, or santa's really kind then go for it... Much better than the Ford Fiesta look..

Hmm....I think it depends on the colour of the car.

Afterburners work on light colours, but at night on a dark car the Fiesta units give the rear end a real mean look, the light either side kind of slopes down towards the middle and looks like the car is frowning at the people behind.

I agree with Mark on this one. Light colours they look superb, dark colours i actually like the originals more. Same goes for the side repeaters and orange fronts on the dark cars IMHO.

I prefer the originals myself ... I thought the afterburners looked a bit "Max Power"ish.

Roz, OH I think you guessed right.

Look good with Crimson Starmist, as do the std. orange repeaters.

Blue? mmmmmmh, Yeh I'd think they'd look good.

Can you still get them BTW, are Zertec around again?

Matt...and I've kept the orange front and side indicators (for now)

IMHO I think that cosmos blue is neither light nor dark, sort of inbetween I'd say, ooer!

Do it, anything is better than upside down mark 3 fiesta back lights.

I prefer the later chim/cerb type myself but there we go...

I get bored of saying this, but they are not upside down.

I suspected you were.

Oh, you were referring to the car.

As people have mentioned, I can see those afterburners making their way to corsas. Still, you could always get a pair of LED exhaust tips

Points to consider...

1) Different to the majority out there
2) Brighter
3) cost
4) Aesthetics.

Personally I like 'em...

"Fire up that engine and watch your exhaust pipe glow. Our LED Exhaust Tip has LEDs built right into the actual pipe."

I have seen it all now... ..might work as a trackday silencer though..?

Roz, They might just accentuate your big curvy ass -

now as a Chick you probably think that's a bad thing - but I bet all the guys are now having impure thoughts!
