Clear repeaters...golf style

[ClioJohn]

I currently have smoked side repeaters...but I love the clear repeaters on new golfs. the fully clear ones with a really shinky background!

Anyone know any place that sells similar ones..that would fit my clio.

Or do you think I could mod the golf ones to fit?

 

[Tom]

bb tuning ?

 

[RobFenn]

I have k-tec ones, 20 quid

 

[ClioJohn]

but are they totally clear...most repeaters I see are white but with a white smoke finish

 

[ClioJohn]

the ktec ones are like that and Ive just looked on bb tuning and there ones are also like that

 

[lofty]

i think he means like a flat glass finish eaither side so it is transparent, only late golfs and VAG cars have them, earlier "new" golfs have the ones that are knobbly plastic on the inside so they appear white/clear, i did measure the new proepr clear ones and they a larger then my 16v repeaters and very expensive to buy, but they do look mint,m not sure if the will show the sing etc underneath,

 

[Reth Clio cup]

I made a pair of Audi TT clear side repeaters fit my megane coupe they were only £6 from Audi for the set

 

[RobFenn]

I was well pissed off after getting my clear repeaters thinking i was a right bad boy then loads of clios popped up with clear ones! doh!

Ive just looked at my mums golf, repeaters nothin special?

 

[Tom]

My "custom" ones should be ready soon

got 3 square leds in them and they sit flush in the recess on my front wing

might make some more when ive finished em

 

[ClioJohn]

f**k it then...ill stick with the smoked ones.

they just fill up with condensation too much!

im gonna try do some handy work and sort them

 

[Robby]

i have a pair of the vw ones off my old mk4 golf gti, they have a chrome look and you can fit an orange bulb in without it showing as it has a chrome cover inside.

Blinking things are just too big for the clio (blinking geddit )

 

[badley]

There are some that have a foil back to fit the clios, just cant remember the website.

Hold-on

Here we are, these people do the crystal repeaters. you may also want to get the Silverfusion bulbs for the complete crystal look

thats not what i mean, the latest VAG ones are flat face clear plasric both sides, i ordered mine today from audi, ill see whats involved in fitting as they are designed to fit in recessed wings, but 16v/williams wings are fibre glass anyway which is very easy to change

 

[badley]

but arnt too big, well too long?

Anyway those in the picture are quite hard to find. but do have the reflective back, maybe not with a smooth finish as the VWs have but I think its the closest one is going to get, a comparison:

Normal Clear:

Crystal

[lofty]

your missing the point still, see the knobbles on the inide face of the lense, the VAG ones i have bought ar flat glass both sides, like a window (without the obscured glazing that the others have)

£75 a pair the had better be right! and yes they are too big and need to be modifing to fit

 

[badley]

OUCH!!

I know, I was just showing the closest ones that are of the same design. It would be better if they did manufacture a smooth one in this design (without the inset design) , tyipical!

For your sake I hope they work, when are you expecting them? (post a photo when done)

[badley]

The latest one used in recent models eg Golf Mk4, and the old ones above used for the Golf Mk3.

Whether there is a difference I dont know

[ClioJohn]

I cant see this crystal design

i found one that does say renault clio cystal side repeater...but dont look as clear as the golf ones!

 

[badley]

yeah its just got a foil back instead of a white one. but the same lenses unfortunatly

 

[lofty]

thats the ones bardley, they do look great if a little bit big, i will let you know how i get on fitting, but its only plastic to plastice so it cant be that difficult

 

[badley]

Its it me or is the Mk3 Golf Repeaters SHORTER than then MK4? or is it just perspective

 

[Robby]

There the ones i have from my mk4 golf, the buld holders smaller than the renault ones, the clips are different and there about 1/2" longer than the recess

£75!!!!!!! you could have bought mine for a tenner

 

[paddymph]

£75!! Are u crazy??

 

[SLJ DK]

Might be these ones...

- Reichhard-motorsport does them as well - thats where I got mine black/chrome ones.

There is only to problems:

1. The yellow bulbs are partly visible and not covered like on the VAGs

2. Reichhard-Motorsport.com charges about 20,- EUR for shipping abroad and dont take creditcards...
