you dont need to get them from vaux for the correct fitting. ABC do a nice selection of clear, smoked, and crystal side repeaters.

theres a carbon catch tank on the inside of the wing at the drivers side, i put an extension bar through and battered it out the way with a hammer, worked fine

no I know what he means.... the drivers side needs to be at an angle...

i also had this problem with my smoked repeaters... but i found away around this!

i used the original repeaters... i sawed the stem off the original repeater as it is angled as required.... i then sawed the stem off the universal repeater i then glued the angled stem on the the universal one with super glue... works fine for me! gotta be creative people

If you buy Irmscher smoked side repeaters they fit perfectly. You can get Irmscher smoked side repeaters as I have them on my car but unfortunately no updated pics since I put them on
