  • different rear lights?

    looked on the smartsrus site and they advertise lights, but have no pics on the site, does anywhere else sell replacement rear lights in different styles?

          Hi,

          They may look better - but they don't sell them!! I think that is one of the original roadster "concept" cars!

          The good thing about the "magic module" ones is that the surround can be sprayed any colour you like or left as a carbon-fibre effect finish.

          Personally I have had mine sprayed in black to match the bodywork colour.

          I don't know of anyone else manufacturing replacement rear light clusters for the roadster

            yeah thats what i'd do, do you have to have the chrome surrounds around the lights though?

              First off -they are not chrome but grey/silver effect plastic. :frown:

              Secondly - as they are plastic they can also be colour coded.

                i think the problem (and the reason that i didn't buy them) with the michalak rear lights is that the panel gap isn't the best.

                On a black roadster its not obvious so if i'd had all black then I would have bought them but I have seen the same lights on an all orange roadster (sussex cars demonstrator) and they didn't look right to me.

                    I don't think the panel gap is too bad - what I have found is that the fixing lugs are not necessarily lined up correctly - Rob at SAD adjusted mine

                      these are the ones i saw -





                      As I say you wouldn't notice on a black car but I didn't think they looked as good as the standard lights on a light coloured car.

                        These lights look really good and different from standard which is what modding is all about is it not.

                        I bought them for my car october 05 £199 from SrU and they still havent turnt up in march but thats another story. I would like to buy them but not from SrU. So if any one is offering a set for sale then...
                        I dont mean to turn this into a for sale page but...

                          Hi,

                          You can get them direct from Michalak in Germany or RS Parts or Berlin Tuning (both also in Germany) if you dont want to deal with SRU.

                          Cheers

                            Or sussex cars (put the two words together and put .com on the end) are also official Michalak suppliers in the UK.

                              These are mine - the picture quality isnt great, sorry





                              Its quite a big panel gap but pretty consistent
