[Mk2] [Generic] Clear Tobelerone indicators.......

[wolfie308]

Hello everybody peeps, this is my first post for a long time, but now I'm back. Some of you will know me from here or other places, and a few of you already have my exclusive lenses fitted

I was rather surprised not to find anything when doing a search for 'Tobelerone', so I hope this may be of interest. If you have an import model and want to de-Tango the the side indicators, now's your chance.

I have made up a small batch of these, so they are currently available ex-stock. Have posted here first as I an have illustrated fitting guide to follow shortly. Pricing details will be posted in the Affiliates section.

Any chance of doing tinted ones to match my sidelights

I am interested in a pair of these!

[wolfie308]

Hiya chaps - nice to see such a speedy response

Paul - tinted ones? - you mean like these.........





The lenses are smoke tint sprayed on the inside so you get a perfectly smooth and scratch proof outer. I did this pair as a special for an Aussie guy to go with fronts which I also supplied. They are a bit of a PITA to do.

Kenn - I'll P.M you payment details

BTW........Price is £35/pair + £2.50 to cover PayPal and post. For smoked, add £3

Cheers,will be in touch

They look really good! Certainly a viable alternative to blanking strips and side repeaters (for ease of fitment, I mean).

Cheers for that Slarty, although I came up with these about 4 years ago, I haven't promoted them as much as I should have. That was exactly my thinking when I first saw this as an alternative solution.

They were inspired by the similar style sides I'd previously done for the Mk3 Supra....



Okay, it does require a bit of relatively simple DIY to fit them, but a very cost effective OE style when you consider the cost of the blanking strips + U.K side indicators and drilling your wings.

I know some folks fit the blanks and leave the side indicators deleted, but I think this may be illegal and certainly a tad dangerous IMHO

welcome back just in time in need of a set you doing the flat tobes by any chance?

Just to add I bought some of Wolfies rear clear lenses when he first offered MR2 stuff and the quality of the moulding was superb so a thumbs up as a supplier of unique options. The GT4 guys seemed to lap up clear lenses from him while I was a GT4'er also so all the best with them.

Heya

[wolfie308]

You give them clear, you give them smoked, and beggar me - they want flat!....in clear or smoked?

Actually, flats haven't escaped my attention, however there seems to be one little problem - the flat lens is longer than the Tobe, so the backing piece would a lot of cutting etc and I don't think it would stand up to close inspection.



I recently came accross these on eBay.com.....$40/pair + $40 shipping the U.K ....crazy. Make you own mind up re the look of them - a bit too err.... aftermarket looking for my taste.



Hey RST many thanks for that. Do you have a pic with the Rev 1/2 rears fitted? Funnily enough, it was the GT4 ST205 clear fronts that I first did over 5 years ago and I've shipped 00's of pairs worldwide from Iceland to Tasmania, and they're still my best selling product. Very popular with our Dutch friends too - Hiya Reno

Hi Wolfie,

Clear Tobelerones turned up at the weekend and managed to survive the onslaught from the hound.

Will get round to fitting them once the clear front indicators are ordered and arrived. Bought some a year or so ago and on of the from reflectors fell out!

Further to a number of requests for info on how to go about fitting these, I hope this link will answer most questions....

The only things I would add are 1) - Keep the edge where the glue goes free of the silver spray and 2) - Use a very thin bead of quick set epoxy to attach the lenses.

I'm also asked about removing the units from the wings. I know my friend Adam did it by loosening the wheel arch liners without removing the wheels - you can just make out in this pic the liner's only partly detatched.

If anybody else has any useful tips, please feel free to add them
