Morning chaps, was cruising round Aldershot last night- as you do- looking for decent fish and chips- chanced on an Imola RS4 lurking in the back streets D* **E with LED brake/sides with conventional indicators etc. Got chatting and it transpired it was originally a Kim Collins car with Movits/MTM's FMIC etc-lovely. Chap couldn't remember where in Germany he'd got them- just that it had 'been emotional'- althogh he did get change out of £200.
Anyone else got an idea where he might have sourced them? Left my address with him, but just in case......
PS- I don't think it was InPro as I ran that one up the flagpole.
Cheers

I saw him on monday night on the A30 [recall it was D2 ***?] - came up behind him at the Bedfont/Sunbury turn off and I was thinking the EXACT same thing about the LED rears!! - he clearly wanted to play, but unf. I was in a hurry and needed to double back for my turning.....otherwise I would've had a go - if it's Kim's old car then I'm glad I didn't!!

Well jarv and blackb1ade you are both on the money- he told me about the decals down the flanks and that D2 reg number is the one!! Sounds like a page from the spotters forum! Thanks for the feedback guys- very pleasant guy- said he was lapsed member- still had a RS246 sticker in the back window but claimed he now had 'better things to do'- I didn't push it.........
So anyone else know where the lights may have been sourced from- they were quite tasteful- not bling.

Maybe a DIY jobbie...?

Probably these? Not too bad, just the red reflector letting them down.

They look very 'In-Pro' quality Lee - who is the supplier? - Sum Fun Tung Korea
Now all LED lights and we could be talking... have to see them on a car though.

They are the ones A20LEE thanks-any more info?? Comments noted but they do look far better on- not keen on the reflector myself- looked less obvious in real time. Also been looking for LED bulbs that come on amber and red- found them ok and the resistors needed to prevent tripping the bulb out warning light. D2**** also mentioned they come in smoked and clear but the red looked really quite deep- not like the usually nasty aftermarket washed out reds you get- and from about 10 yards theres a definate 'are those standard' moment til you clock the reflector.......
Any more info appreciated, thanks guys.

Looks like the picture is from ebay with the little camera icon in the corner.

Nige you are a giant amongst men! Thanks- will follow that lead up this weekend (internet police stick the baton into fleabay from work).
Thanks to all who responded to the thread, hope I can help others out in the future.
Incidentally, have just ordered a gearbox brace and gear shift knob from esp engineering, will let you know what the SP is in the near future.
