So I've got clear indicators at the front now, right.. but the problem is, see, is that there's these big 'orrible orange wedge fings underneef 'em which stand out and look BLOOMIN' 'ORRIBLE! So obviously, I'll get them colour coded but I've got just one question...

what are they for, other than looking stoopid? (car's an MY00)

I was going to do mine bodycolour, but black might look good, especially as I'm going to replace the big honeycomb at the front with a badgless grille (MRO) so it'll look good with lots of black 'holes' in the front - more imposing to the poor sap infront

Cool

Brun

This continuous torture is driving me to................................................ ..



.......the paint shop to buy some silver paint

But then again the black is still nice (in a sort of dull kind of way )

Cheers once again

Question

I wonder if the orange bits were originally Subaru's answer to the naff orange lower grille on a Rover 200 BRM??

nice Andy, thanx. Like the idea of black indicators- good to do a common mod a bit different!

I think I'll go for colour coded orange bits.

Still wanna know WHY they're there and WHY they're orange!

I've been to Scoobysport today (new front brakes, lovely) and asked them...

the orange wedges do, and I quote... "nothing"

Nice one subaru for making useless items bright orange! I guess it's so they go with the indicators, but they're a bitch when you've got clears...

I painted mine black this evening and they look damn fine with a set of black indicators on a MY00 DBM car!

Pictures are not very good as I had to park very close to a wall! Maybe some better ones later!
