LED rear lights will look ace on your motor. There was a pic somewhere of another black avant (might have been golfathers) with them and it looked superb

+1: sort that and get LED front sidelights and the C5 looks bang up-to-date. I saw them on a black Plus - forum car I think - and they looked a load better than the C5 OEM rear cluster.

Hmm, ok I won't totally write off the idea of led's but waaaaaaaay down the list of priorities. They would have to be really well finished in order for me to consider them, as in look truly as factory as possible.

I rang up Hawthorns to ask them where exactly they got the motor for the rear wiper from and they told me Euro Car Parts. using the item number on receipt from them it comes up with the item in the attachment uploaded.

Not my fault as I just told them get it sorted. Hawthorns are sposed to be a prestige garage around these parts so one would assume.....

While I am still not really entertaining the possibility of chav rear lights, this image

Image

looks almost too perfect to not try photochopping onto the car. Sadly, I lack all said chopping skills. I don't spose anyone with the skills needed would be awesome enough to chop away for me?

http://www.ftaclan.net/clanftp/nick/rs6/P1000894.JPG is the image I was thinking of

Image - smaller image

I think that site might be session timeout-based so if the image links die then this is the site - http://www.fk-automotive.org.uk and the article number is - FKRLXLAI010023

Thanks in advance guys :)

There is also this one that could chop ok on to that pic - https://www.dectane.de/images/product_i ... a15lbl.jpg

Sorry again, I wish I had the time/skills for chopping but have never got around to learning it :(

Chunkmeister, perfect thanks and hopefully of use to others in future. Just from page 1 I am sold on the Dectane smoked ones now on a black avant. Shame they have none in stock but I will wait and pounce once back in :D

I might still do a search for some professionally tinted ones as I cba with doing it myself. The last set of lights I tinted myself were on my 1.1 Escort, would rather leave it to the pros... :)
