hey does anyone know where i can get both d/side and p/side reflectors for the rear bumper as mine are broken

The reflectors on the rear bumper that face sideways?

They're supposed to be blacked out for compliance. I believe they're illegal for whatever reason

Hrmm I was under the impression the ones that face backwards are OK, but the ones that face sideways are not, cos in pitch blackness if all you can see is one reflector there its sposd to make it look like the rear of the car, when it is in fact the side.

Or something like that. Did that even make sense? Coffee

<-- I think i need some more...

That makes perfect sense, as this is the reason why the outter most brake globes are removed, as they are only allowed to shine rearward.

Mine didn't get blacked out either...

yeah thats kewl but where can i buy some new or secondhand ones from

I guess what I was getting at is why do you need them? Just put a bit of plastic or somethin over the hole, paint it up and it will look just like anyone else's Razz

go through the for sale section towards the bottom..
someone selling a few aristo bits may have some left if you ask around

otherwise.. check out rampant or something to see if he can get a hold of anything

wonder if something else will fit in the same spot without it having to be from an Aristo!?!?

Only factory series 2 (fat bum) bumpers have them.

Series 1:

Series 2:

In regards to the original poster, there are shops that sell them in Japan, but they are quite expensive, I've seen them sell in black, amber, red & silver for around $80 before you even ship them here.
