Where to get styling parts?

[carl_w]

Specifically, smoked side repeaters and clear indicators?

BTW has anyone fitted the H4 HID conversion from www.hid-online.com/ into a round-headlight Cerb?

Just picked the side repeaters up from Halfords - Ford Fiesta Mk3 ones. Took about 5 mins to fit with a bit of trimming the fibreglass underneath with a craft knife. Got the front indicators done by an indy as part of the headlight upgrade... Not sure what they're off.

I had my front indicators changed by the dealer, they said they where Land Rover reversing lights?

I seem to recall the bloke who owns Carisma has a cerbie with some very 'tasteful' mods

Not those sort of 'styling mods'

BTW I am led to believe the side repeaters are actually Mondeo items.

Maybe I should get some dragons painted on the sides and a "Fast and The Furious" style GT-wing on the back?

We're both right - remembering back to my days in the garage (up to 97/8 ish), early Mondeos used the same repeaters as the Mk3 Fiesta. The Ka had the same ones too, if memory serves me.

Whilst in Halfords I noticed that they have some oval F+F stickers that look to be just about a perfect match size-wise for the Cerbera badge at the back.

Cool
My last car was a Jap-mobile -- do you think it will be hard to shake that mentality? Maybe I should get some of those manufacturers' names down the door panel. You know the ones that go:

Blitz
ApEXi
HKS
Mugen Power
Veilside
Zero Sports
5Zigen
Spoon
Be Improved by SARD
etc.

Manufacturer's names down the sides?
Given all the stock parts in it, you'd need more like VW, Ford, Land Rover, etc. badges on a Cerb.

I did start on fitting a (black) mesh grille to the front of mine a while back. Abandoned it in the end 'cos I couldn't find any good ways of fixing it in place. It did look good & not too Max Power, though. And I'm still tempted to do something to the exhaust - Tuscan style cans, possibly - not some kind of drainpipe effort. Then again, it is nice to have that much noise come out without making it look like you've put effort into making it loud.

I assume everyone's already seen this (very funny) Golf VR6 vs. Civic animation?
