Detango my indicators? (Pics inside)

At the moment looks like this:

Worth the hassel of detango-ing the front and side indicators?

I did it to mine, only cost a few quid and 5 minutes of my time for a nice subtle improvement.

I'd change the grilles for Zetec grilles to freshen up the front.

This is a good example where it looks good. Courtesy of Mark A in Show Us Your Motors Thread.

Orange goes with green so its fine.

Nope, don't bother in my opinion but at the end of the day it's your car, if you want to do it then why not?

Here was my Focus. If you get some silver bulbs to go with it then yes. As you can see mine needed silver bulbs.

what the hell!

malfunkshun · 25 Jun 2009 at 15:55

only if you're doing the repeaters too.

Been pondering doing this to my silver Focus Zetec, how much does it cost roughly and where's best to get the bits from?

Nice work saitrix!

Are they easy enough to fit?

saitrix · 25 Jun 2009 at 16:34

Yeah, 30 seconds each for the repeaters, no tools needed. Then just 2 screws per front repeater. Overall you could do it in less than 10 minutes, about the easiest job you could do really.

You may want a soft rubber 'scraper' tool to aide getting the side repeaters out, sometimes they can get nice and stuck in there and you really dont want to be taking any screwdrivers to them

And yes, do it. Did it to my old Panther Black Zetec and it tidies it up a treat.

The green an orange look horrible together.

Yes.

Sounds like a recipe for disaster with me at the helm but I think I might give it a go anyway!
