The missus always said she didn't like them so I never got any. Though stuff it so have sourced a set. Just need to decide now whether to paint them matt black like ~nomads~ track car or whether to have them properly olour coded.

i have never been a fan of the morette head lights. Certain cars on here can pull off the look with them. But yours is looking so Nice i would keep std ones :wink:

i think the morettes will spoil the looks of a, quite frankly, fantastic car.

Imo, Morettes are ace, i agree that some cars they dont suit and some they do. I'd never change back to std. headlights now ive had my morettes for so long.

I vote colour code them body coloured and colour code the mirrors at the same time (leaving the base plates black) :) .

Its a wicked car as it is, the above is just my opinon of how i'd do the final cosmetic touches.

I really like the look of morettes, but yesterday I saw an RST the same colour as yours with black ones and it didnt really look that good, so if you decide to keep them I would think colour coded would be a lot nicer.

i personally dont like morettes on rs turbos, they should be left standard looking but thats only my opinion, its all down to personal taste, but if i was you id paint them the same colour as the car, leaving them black would just make it look like you bought them and slapped them on there because they come new black

Oranoco has bought them and fitted them (pics in members gallery), Im sticking by what i have said above:

I vote colour code them body coloured and colour code the mirrors at the same time (leaving the base plates black)

I'm still not sure myself.

I can look at it one minute and think "that looks baxtered hard" and five minutes later look and think "what the f**k have I done" :lol:

Will leave them on for at least TRAX and will see what I may do from there
