the rear lights, if you want a real set of lights like that (propper hella RS accessory), with proper smoked indicators, send a PM to Carbonboy67 as he has a few sets of euro spec ones

depends on what power you plan to run
150bhp would be ok on a std clutch

i run 170bhp through a std clutch and it slips in 3rd so i fitted an Ap paddle clutch
