Are you trying to be different?
MX5 ones fit really easily, those look like they stick out a bit more. I don't think Range Rover repeaters sit flush with the bodywork like the FTO's do. I think they sit flat over the body with a smaller hole in the body.

I dunno - If they are the right size they look like they could fit in the recess better.

The MX5 ones are a tiny bit oversized and also aren't designed to fit in a recess - they sit flat against the wing on the MX5.

I guess the only way to find out would be to ask the seller for the measurement across the repeater.

I'm delighted with the MX5 ones I got a few weeks ago, they're a really good fit, and I like the chrome ring they have round the edge.

Both myself and Steelroe have already fitted MX5 repeaters to the FTO.
But I found them just a tad too big - still better looking (and very good value) than the standard Jaffa cakes though.

Nicest side indicators i have seen were the focus ones on Daves last blue GPX.

I've spoken to ultimate-lighting and he has as many in stock as we need.

If we order 6 or more sets he's willing to ship them in one load by recorded airmail.

Same price on on eBay though.
Link here: http://stores.ebay.co.uk/UltimateStylin ... 2222QQtZkm

He has 2 variants.

Crystal Clear
Crystal Smoked

I know he has two more variants but I forgot the names - I will verify with him tomorrow and post in the forsale section to gauge interest.

Well i don't need any i already have a set of the ones from camskills from years ago, was just trying to help, strange that you could find there ebay shop but when i did a search ebay said they didn't exist, :smt017

anyway i went and had a look from your link, if the mx5 ones are a shade to big ask him the size of these ones on his site they might suit better

Cause you search for shop name "Ulitmate-Lighting".

His user name is: "Ultimate-lighing" but his shop name is "Ultimatestyling"

;-) I know it's a bit crap that the username search doesn't return shop names as well - it ought to be a combined search... at so me stage I'm sure it'll be changed.. For now I'll suggest it to the dev team.
