Where can I get a set of good quality front indicators?I bought a set of ebay and they were absolutely crap quality so i decided not to put them on my car.

So can someone point me in the right direction as I have already asked teddy and he doesn't do them.

Thanks :)

What about the projector style ones Roy has on his M3, they really have some presence.

Give it a go. OR actually if you do the tint film trick, that will turn out good hopefully! :D

Definite DIY, I did mine before going projector.

You can go as dark as you want as you just add more and more layers to get the depth of colour you want

They're "DEPO". Known to have a crap reputation in the US and confirmed by me. I bought those before DIY'ing mine and they leaked. BADLY!

Funnily enough they are Depo's off ebay.
They fit perfect and don't leak. :confused:

Thanks Fas. How many layers did you paint on your indicators?

on the indicators I put 3 layers on, but on my side indicators (which are still on) I used about 10 :)
