Had an idea that im going to remove my side repeaters for a smoother look like some of the us zeds you see.

 

The car is a black swb. i have already smoothed the tailgate and the antena hole, all stone chip will be removed no rear wiper etc.

 

i have a 99 spec front to go on as well

 

will i get away without them for the mot as i think the 99 spec indicators are visible from the side.

 

if not i may integrate some new style audi wing mirror indicators into the std mirrors ( they are a thin strip like on the r8)

 

i was also considering integrating the indicators into the main light cluster and smoothing the 99 spec to remove both the indicator and the fogs.

 

Any thoughts

 

any more ideas for the clean smooth look - im not going to remove the swage line

Stick a scarab bumper on it :lol:

 

aero wipers? ganador mirrors?

Hmm, I dont think the 99 spec would meet MOT specs. For a "wraparound" front lens the lamp would need to meet the following:

 

Lamps incorporating a side repeater are marked either with an 'E' mark in a circle or an 'e' mark in a rectangle above which is a number 5. Some vehicles are fitted with a wraparound lens with no European approval markings. These can be tested by standing approximately 1000mm to the side of the vehicles rear bumper with indicator on. If amber light can be seen coming through the front lens (not a reflection) this is acceptable.

 

I dont think this is the case with the 99 spec lamp - I will check mine tomorrow.

erm not quite the look im after

thanks paul

Stick a scarab bumper on it :lol:
