Hi folks,

I fitted clear side repeaters last week and was looking round the car. I was admiring how cool the clear repeaters looked on my silver cat.........

Then I went to the back of the car. I hava a 2001 model with the 3rd brake light in the boot lid.
Was thinking how good a clear lensed 3rd brake light, with red bulbs/LED's would look.

Anyone know where I can get one from??

Cheers in advance

I don't recall havng seen any clear 3rd brake light lenses before, you may find it's a self build job

Remove it, sand off the raised lettering and apply mirror tint film to it

Hmmmmm,

I could always have a go at making a colour coded cover for it, with the puma logo cut out so that when you brake, the puma logo would glow red.....

.....that would look cool in the dark!

Otherwise it might be a case of tinting it!

Decisions, decisions, thanks a lot for the feedback so far guys

Get a paint shop to mix up a can of 50% laquer 50% your colour then give the light a couple of light coats of paint. My mate had all the lights on his focus done like that, looked really good!

I've got a silver cat and the first things that I did was to fit clear side repeaters and a 3rd brake light cover from ebay. The cover is black but you dont notice any diffrence until you put your foot on the brake. It looks really great!
