Hi all,

bought my first Noble M12 yesterday

It is a lovely looking M12 GTO, only 10.000 miles, carbon black (pearlescent black) with black/red interior

Great condition, I will post a link to some pictures very soon

Will fetch the car within a couple of weeks, and my Esprit S4 found a new owner already (but I need to do MOT etc for the S4)

I have a couple of questions :

- would it be nice to put smoked rear back lights on it ?
- I intend to replace the amber front/side repeaters to clear
- I want to put mats (with Noble logo)
- I want to put side sills (brushed alu or SS) with "Noble M12" or just logo on it
- the standard exhaust is pretty silent ; I would like to install a sports exhaust

For all these items : what (online) shop has them and what do they cost ?

Smoked back lights look much better, I have done mine,
The front and rear indicator lights are available from land rover and halfords respectively

I would recommend the S/S sill protectors from the lotus centre, they are very good quality at around £100, i had the carbon look ones previously and they are not so good.

This is mine, with just part of the light smoked, and done on the outside, so no need to remove the light to spray, we gave them 3 coats.



and with the cheap feabay Ford Fiesta side repeaters, don't go for the led ones, get very little light when looked at from a side angle

Thank you, found clear MK3 side repeaters on Ebay

Smokeing yourself might be an option

Are those photos taken in Belgium??

It looks identical to the UK. You even have the same bus stops as us and road signs.

cool.
