the track widerners arent legal, there fairly safe.....as althought with everything like that you would be better of getting custom hubs made that widen your track but that would cost you some serious coin,

The guy with the porsche boxter has 'reported' that he had no problems going throuhg TUV(German roadworthy) with his black taillights.....should be no problem with ADR either?

Irmscher sells the clear crystal tail-lights from memory. Couple of the brit owners have got them.

As for the colour screen, I think it depends which stereo you have in order for it to work. Also being a wider screen, you need to get the surround for it as well. Not sure if you need Tech2 to enable it, but so far everything on an AH everything changed needs enabling. :rolleyes:

What colour is your car? I'd go with the black tail lights, as the clear ones look abit too rice

Clear tail lights always add a fine touch to 'some' cars :)

Those dark lense covers are a bit iffy.....

That colour display screen looks interesting....

As others have stated, spaces are illegal (but then so are many other things) and quite frankly totally useless on most Opels because we already have a problem trying to keep the wheels from protruding outside the guards lol, especially if you want to go to big size diameters.

They are mainly for people who've fitted wide body kits to their car, but I'd opt for a deeper offset wheel, rather than those spacers.

My one is a black coupe but as Wraith said, they look a bit iffy and everyone seems to have them....I'm just looking at potential purchases, my first priority is to get a shorter aerial :D

Yeah that's what I was wondering, on the site it says it works fine with the CDC40(which is what i got) but then again does it display it in monochrome? This would defy the point of getting a color screen :confused:

Apparently the manufacturer is Hella.

I quite like them. Personally, I think the standard tailights look a bit ordinary and out of character with the rest of the car. The only alternative I've seen have been altezza-style taillights that do look very rice. I think clear ones like this would go well, and compliment the standard headlights.

But then, my car is Moonland, and I've only thought about it in relation to that colour. Might be a different story for other colours, especially black.
