just put in new smoked side turn indicators and clear side markers...she looks super modern now, i am thrilled!
no more ugly orange, and it could not have been an easier, inexpensive upgrade.
side note: do NOT use gorilla glue when replacing the markers onto the fixtures. it will cause a cloudy white haze to cover the lens due to a chemical reaction...i have new clear lenses en route, but learned a lesson)

Nice Cat by the way!!, although if mine was a convertible (and I love my coupe!) I would only ever take pictures of it with the top down! The convertible is distinctly OK with the top up and absolutely drop dead gorgeous with the top down...

One of the last outings in 2016 before poor fuel pick-up caused the engine to detonate at the end (150mph) of Goodwoods' Lavant straight.

Five of the 8 pistons melted badly holing top and sides. The heat escalation took only 10 seconds to cause this damage and wreck the engine.

A complete engine re-build now installed and the new project Whipple W175AX Supercharger is finally lowered into place.

Followed by the modified bonnet with air scoop for top loading to the mechanical throttle body and hand pressed louvres for additional cooling
