So, what do you all think?
Anyway... that's not my main dilemma (believe it or not!!!). What i would really like ideas about it were to put my rear indicators. As you can see
the rear wheel arches are repro. therefore nice and smooth. I would like to take full advantage of this and keep the smooth cal look shape thingy...
So i intend to run tear drop lights... but where to put the indicators???? thanx all

I have mine behind the air vents below the back window... A bastard to fit but you don't know they are there until they are on. Mine are cheapo
square trailer lamps, but there are some super-bright, super-small LED lights you coukld consider installing

I have small fingers!
My car is an Oval, so I think there is more room than later cars to squeeze hands/lights up from the sides of the engine bay. If I was to do it again,
I would use LED lights mounted to removable panels accessed from within the car, cut into the metal below the rear window and sealed. In fact, I might
do this anyway...
PS: I HATE any VWs with no lights on the guards.... they look unfinished. Put Oval lights on it...nn[ Edited on 4-8-2005 by VWCOOL ]

I wasn't planning on running bumpers.... So, is that where you would mount these 'bullet" lights? If so.... slight issue of getting a bumper....
cuting bumper mounting holes etc.  :duh
Secondly, i just think that VWcool, Warb and Robo are being bias towards oval rear lights because they all drive ovals themselves. :P
Thanx heaps for your help ALL, you really have helped with ideas.  I was feeling a bit stuck. And HA, to all you reading who just got sucked in by the subject title.:P

I too love the smooth guard look and yes I have an oval! I currently have the indicators in the back vent section and I personally don't like it, so
I am in the process of changing them over to Harley Bullet indicators. Those people at Harley Davidson must be making a killing over us VW people !
P.S Welcome to the forum !:kiss

just make if you're not going to run bumpers you check with Transport first as they are getting strict on new registrations after a car has been
de-registered or brought from iinterstate

Thanx fossil, that's good advice.
My partner was under the impression that as long as no parts stuck out past the body work and caused a danger to pedestrian (ie. pea shooters) that it
was OK. But i will look into it more, just to check. :vader I might have to fight the evil Queensland Transport... doom doom doooom "the dark side"
