POLL: LED Side Repeaters Colour

[Wrs]

I recently got a bit of a bargain (£50) on eBay for a pair of face lift LED side repeaters "prepped with, U-POL PLASTX adhesion promoter and primer filler ready for painting."

I am not a massive fan of the original chrome so its either grey / silver (to match the mirror caps) or black? Help me decide.

I think chrome to match the front grill surrounds, not being awkward but painted black they will in effect disappear from view :?

In the same process myself.... My repeaters came with lights installed in the back to replace the same all-white plastic lights on your car. I assume your covers will fit over the existing lights?

Color is a quandary. My car is silver, and this will be the only chrome on the car other than badging. I considered black since I have black grills, but the chrome is likely what I'll keep. On your car, with black paint, I think chrome or gloss black - but I lean toward chrome - sorry!

Yes but black would be better than the white cover IMO. Thanks though Rob.

Yep they fit my car.

Each to their own. I am not liking the chrome finish so not adding it as a poll option 8)

Gloss black, provided it's that same black as the rest of the car!

Finally got round to fitting these today. I had quite a hard time getting the old white blobs off (without damaging the paint) tbh.

Good shout Rick! Very happy with the gloss black.
