Changed Side Indicators

Wanted to change the boring side indicator on my E90, so found these, and IMHO it has changed to look of the side quite nicely and i am very happy with the look and cost (£30). Indicators are LED (2 Rows of 3 LED's)

your Thoughts welcome??????

Personally I think they are awful and think it looks tacky but that's my opinion, as long as you like them.

Totally unrelated but your wheels look like what I just bought, zito 935? If so where did you get your centre caps they are just what I'm looking for

I'm not a fan, I think they look cheap. But it's your car and if you like it then fair enough.

I've got them on my car minus the badges. They were a complete nightmare to fit as the sponge seal was too thick. The wings being plastic, flexed like mad when pressed in and the lugs would not locate. They look way better than standard without the badges IMO, functionally 1000% better.

A friend has them on his 135i and tbh not personally keen on them. They do however change the side profile as they stand out a lot more (which is kind of what you wanted really so all good).
