The Pikey Posted December 21, 2007 Share Posted December 21, 2007 I am loosing sleep over these repeaters fitted on the cycle wings 😔. What I should have done is buy some cheapo cycle wings of EBay and fitted the nasty things to them, then once the SVA was done put the sexy bare carbon wings on. But I never, in the heat of the moment and not wanting to hold the build up I fitted the nasty items to the carbon wings. So, does anyone have any links to sites that offer an alternative that covers the holes the nasty ones required?  P.S I know they like to use E marked stuff but surly CC could have done a better job of finding a part that don’t look like a after thought? Jason  Currently, I am qualified to plead ignorance.

tiddy1 Posted December 21, 2007 Share Posted December 21, 2007 The best I have seen is the fiat coupe ones fitted into the sides of the head light bowls, they look good, are e-marked and cost about £10 a side Simon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham Perry Posted December 21, 2007 Share Posted December 21, 2007 Yep, several folks on here have put them in the sides of the headlamp bowls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

7 wonders of the world Posted December 22, 2007 Share Posted December 22, 2007 Beat me too it Nick! - also found this one  http://www.body-kit.co.uk/acatalog/fiat_coupe_side_repeaters.html Also a friend with a Westi had the misfortune to trash a bonnet, he manged to get a repair kit comprising of matting fine paste and epoxy colour to repair the damage, just wondered if this could be available to fill the holes wher the CC repeaters were to save buying new wings 🤔  Too young to be old !

evotell Posted December 23, 2007 Share Posted December 23, 2007 YES  Lancia Integrale EVO Must be EVO they have very smart side rep. Slightly larger then 10p piece only slightly. If their isn't a minimum size by an LED They will look great Terry Caterham SV GSX-1300R When quick just isn't fast enough. www.my7.ca Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
randybugger Posted December 23, 2007 Share Posted December 23, 2007 I bought a pair of F40 repeaters for my headlight bowls though probably the same as the Fiat ones they did come in nice boxes I did see someone on one of the Welsh Blats who had taken his wing repeaters off and stuck a carbon effect sticker over the top (from a motorbike shop) which didnt look too bad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham Perry Posted December 23, 2007 Share Posted December 23, 2007 I have not seen anything to replace the standard ones on the wings. Its usually the wiring thats the trouble with them rather than the lamp itself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

philwaters Posted December 24, 2007 Share Posted December 24, 2007 Nigel - ask Steve - he fitted some a couple of years ago.... I've never had a problem at an MOT since going cycle, so won't fit unless I have to. Phil Waters Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
millsn Posted December 24, 2007 Share Posted December 24, 2007 I actually like the repeaters I have had on the flared wings which reminded me to switch the indicatoprs off at times Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dicky Posted December 25, 2007 Share Posted December 25, 2007 One of the first things I ever did was get rid of the awful standard repeaters. I changed them for these here. I think they were called universal clear indicators in Halfords. They are stuck on so no need to worry about screws or anything. Richard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grubbster Posted December 25, 2007 Share Posted December 25, 2007 you can also put stick ons on the side panel and take the wire under the bonnet so no drilling. I think some nice carbon wing mirrors with repeaters built in would be nice bt I haven't found anyone that does them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JACK FLASH Posted December 27, 2007 Share Posted December 27, 2007 Jason, Just when looking at eBay, I noticed black repeaters for direct replacement on VW cars. They might look good on carbonfibre wings and I believe that the VW repeaters are just a little bit smaller than the standard Caterham side repeaters. So if you are lucky, you can cover the existing holes with these repeaters. I copied the description and the item number below. VW Passat Polo Lupo GTI Black Dark Repeaters Indicators - Item number: 140191999276 BTW, for sake of originality I stay with those ugly bright orange side repeaters on the beautiful flared wings of my classic Twin Cam. 😬 Jack Flash Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
