964 owners with orange indicators
Discussion
I'm after a favour from a 964 owner with orange indicators!
My 964 has the white indicators and side repeaters fitted, which I used to like but frankly i want to go back to orange ones, so I dug out my old orange ones and found they had been splattered with paint stripper GRRRR. Paint stripper seems to have the same effect on plastic as it does on paint and now they are fit only for the bin or as emergency spares.
Considering how expensive the white ones are (£60-100) and how undesirable the orange ones are (£5-10 on ebay) I wondered if any 964 owners want to do a bit of a swap involving a bit but not much money. Basically might help two pistonheaders out!

Oli,
I agree the retro/original look is back!
But I don't think they go that cheap on ebay any more. I paid around £30 for a pristine set. I've gone back to orange on my 965. Looks great against the black paint.
PS: I have a full white set if anyone wants them, swap for the orange small wing repeaters....

Lol I would love them Leigh.
Need any bits to do a swap for? Know you already have the white lenses.
Not needing anything at the moment thanks but you're welcome to them. Call in next time you're local, or I can always post them to you.Need any bits to do a swap for? Know you already have the white lenses.
If you don't need the side repeaters then 911adict is in luck
ukwill,
Funny isn't it. I put clear on mine last year and loved them. This year I wanted some colour, so back to orange. Next year... smoked black look?
By the way, does anyone know where to buy the orange side indicators? All the usual specialists describe them as yellow - or are they the same?

Typical - I just sold my spare set of orange, and have now bought a cup car which has a cracked one!...

911 addict - I've got the orange side indicators at home. They're left over from when i changed to clear lights ones all round. Unfortunatley one of my white lights is now broken so was looking to replace. if you're still up for swapping please PM me - thanks!Funny isn't it. I put clear on mine last year and loved them.

Aceparts do a nice looking oval pair for about a tenner.
Always thought orange ones looked better with certain colours as well.
