   For some reason I never think angel eyes work on Saxos... so go for smoked

   I got the black indicators off of ebay. They are to plasticy/french to bother risking it to be honest with you and it wasn't worth it for the sake of about £11 I think I paid for mine!
   
   Just a quick thought, you could also go for smoked side repeaters on the sides too

   do you have the link to where you got yours from as they dont look too black.
   
   did you spray your headlight inserts black or grey?

    i only went gloss as i herd it reflects better i now know it doesn't make a difference at all. the ultra ones for the mk2 are satin. what would you prefer to do? its all down to preference tbh

    cheers buddy
    
    Yeah satin is the way forward IMO, it looks better. Don't worry about lacquer tho. As they will be sealed up you wont need it...
