and from me - Cheers Fen [

and here's a pic - I must get those stonechips sorted [&o]

carlmthompson · Feb 12, 2005

They look really good.

I've been looking out for some but 'aint seen any.

Do you mind me asking how much, and from where?

I know you did a group buy, and I'm hoping more people may be interested once they see these..........

There was some talk about the fit not being right? I'm judging from the pics that they fit spot on?

Fen · Feb 12, 2005

Cheers chaps, while I don't feel my usual "no problem" is strictly true you are all still very welcome.

Carl, they came from Sweden: www.turnclear.com and cost £83 delivered to everyone's door. Rears came in at £49 delivered (I think), or £126 for the full set. They are exactly the same as the originals but clear as far as I can tell, certainly no problem with fit anyway.

The group buy was for 21 people with various combinations of Turbo/S2 or Lux fronts and/or rears, by all means run another if this one draws enough interest; I have a set now so I won't be doing another.

carlmthompson · Feb 12, 2005

Cheers for the info Fen - did you save much doing the group buy? If so, I might just try and organise the same!

Has anyone got any Pics of the rears on the car (I can't get the full benefit of the pics on the website).

For some reason I can't get the words "Lexus Style" out of my head, although I know they aren't that type of clear[

Hi Carl,

If you do go ahead with another group buy let me know I am interested in some rears & both Turbo & N/A fronts.

Fen · Feb 12, 2005

They're colourless rather than clear. No way would I put "Lexarse" lights on any car on mine [

]

I think we saved roughly £20 per set, slightly more on the Turbo fronts and just under on the rears. We paid SEK 900 for Turbo fronts and SEK550 for rears. I got an exchange rate of roughly 13 the day I transferred the cash.

Here's a pic of the rears on a Glacier car:

and the fronts:

I actually think my Glacier ooks better than that so I might post a pic tomorrow, albeit it's pretty sad generally with no engine in it.

Hi fen thanks got lenses today just got to get them paul.

carlmthompson · Feb 12, 2005

Yup, they look excellent - just lose the yellow and replace with clear! (duh?)

I think they'll look good on the black cars also.

Might be organising a group buy soon methinks!

Is it me or do the tyres look too narrow for those wheels?

carlmthompson · Feb 12, 2005

For what it's worth I think the wheels look wrong on the car (they stick out too far in the arches!)

Maybe the wrong offset?

Fen · Feb 12, 2005

I don't like the angle spokes wheels personally but otherwise they look much the same as my 18's, except my car is 30mm lower which makes a huge difference IMO.

You could do with getting some clear indicators on that Fen, it would look great. [

carlmthompson · Feb 13, 2005

They look much better. I think it might be cause they have a bit of a lip on them.

It does make to rear of the car look more contemporary but, IMHO then tends to draw your eye more towards the frog lights, thus making the back end seem more blocky and verticle.

Big Dave · Feb 13, 2005

Fen
Have you lowered the rear of your car ??? If so How???? + buy how much.....
Also
The front badge panel with the cut outs??? where did you get it from ,, or did you cut the holes out yourself.????

Buy the way
Did you manage to sort anything out with the 968 front indicator "clear" group buy???? As it seems to have "stalled" out.?????

Fen · Feb 13, 2005

The rear was only lowered by maxing out the adjustment on the suspension, it wasn't reindexed. It actually looks high in that picture though because of the slope on the drive. by contrast the attached picture makes it look lower than it really is because of the slope.

The badge panel was just the original one cut out. I think it was Top Gun who did it but Bob Watson had it done for me when the mods went on.

I didn't do anything with the 968 indicator lenses other than enquire. Joakim said he can do them if he gets an order of 6 or more and I know someone who wants a pair. To be honest (and I don't mean to be rude) the 944 group buy was enough hassle and I'm very glad it's nearly over so if any 968 boys want the lenses then they will have to sort it out themselves. My mate says he wants them but apparently not enough to sort it out.
