Title: Hook Me Up
Post by: Anonymous on August 31, 2003, 14:21
Hi,

I was wondering if anyone could let me know where I can get some red hook reflectors from?   s:) :) s:)  

TIA

Slacey was generously dishing them out a week or two back.   I gather he got them from some of our stateside chums over at http://www.spyderchat.com

I've still got some left Sundance, but yellow only. If you want some, FOC - let me know.

I've got yellows on mine, they go nicely with the rear reg plate, as they're the same colour.

I had a feeling they would look pretty good, and I think they do.
Might keep a set of yellows for myself now   s:wink: :wink: s:wink:

Thanks, I was initially worried that on a red car, yellow's would look daft/out of place, but once in I changed my mind instantly.  Thanks crunchy for yellow rear reg plates.

Yellow reflectors on the back must look a little bit odd to someone driving behind you at night time no?

I have no idea but I wouldn't be surprised to learn that over here it might be illegal to have yellow reflectors on the back of your car (  s:roll: :roll: s:roll:  ), did you check at all?

I wouldn't be surprised either... but then as they're the same colour as the reg plate... I'm really not sure.  I guess if PC Plod wants to prosecute... he will.  Anyone else got the yellow ones?

As Phil has mentioned, as the rear plate is yellow reflective, I doubt very much you would get pulled for a couple of small reflectors. I certainly wouldn't be worried, and at worst you would just have to remove them   s:? :? s:?

You're not alone krisclarkuk; they do look nasty...  

I am under the suspicion that they might be illegal as one might mistake them as indicators...  The law is pretty strict when it comes to these things.

I thought they were indicators when i first saw them... now that would be pretty cool, but i just think you take your orange side repeaters off and then stick orange plastic on the back instead   s:? :? s:?

*phew* I thought I'm the only one who doesn't like them  s:) :) s:)

Pics don't always do justice for lil thingies though, so maybe they look better live?

Each to their own, I liked them enough to spend a reasonable amount of cash to get some shipped over from the States and then give them away!

yup, and your a good olde bloke for doing it too.   s:D :D s:D  

i just dont think it helps that Mr T designed the rear to look like that (with the holes already there).

You are correct. It isn't. You guys need to throw some tea into a harbo(u)r or something.
