Yeah i love morettes my old man hates them , but i think thats what im getting as soon as a good pair come up. In black with indicators either hidden or inner lamp used for them. But depos are very nice, mine look good just a shame condensation gets in. Tempted to do the oven trick when they come off to see if i can reseal them. Just be warned though, nearly all depos ive come across have had condensation in them Definately reckon either i nicer than standard lights though, but thats just my opinion.

Lol, you may aswell try if you still got the standard headlights knocking about to use for a while And I can't really comment on the depo condensation, had mine on for no longer than a month before I crashed We'll see what happens, just hope its worthy for the stand this year Last year had the crashed slam panel, this year the crack in the pillar. Might just spray over it for now till I decide wether or not I'm going to re-shell mine or not.

Yes there will be pics, if weather is dry ill get pics of the wheels off then hopefully fitted. And its nothing major but, it will be one more thing to tick off the list of my future plans

Edit: Yeah it was because the centre caps were plastic they couldn't powder coat

Update: Wheels are back from refurb, and also the little surprise I got is at the bottom of the page.


Think I will be keeping the centre caps off tbh. I like it

So here's pictures of the wheels;







And fitted, sorry for the rubbish pictures:











And heres my little surprise, not much but will tidy up the front end

Smoked DEPOs, arrived this morning will hopefully be fitting on the weekend.









Sean!

Cheaper to buy one to begin with, and theres the colour match, and the work involved with painting.

Much easier to fit one already in the right colour.
