General Where to get nice side repeaters?

[Andymacselespeed]

One of my side repeaters is weak, the clip holf#ding it in the wing is partially broken, I could fix it, but I don't want to fix it to the point I can't get it out, I'd rather replace it. The car is dark red, so I'd like either crystal claer, or smoked repeaters. I've had a quick google, but they seem to be a little patchy on quality, anyone got any experience of buying repeaters for Stilo in the recent past? If so, where from, and how much?

I may end up getting soem from FIAT, but I want to try something different.

Anything other than OEM is going to be patch build quality and at best a lucky purchase if its going to fit. The repeater on the Stilo is recessed in, so your going to have to buy an OEM unit thats pretty much exactly the same shape and size.

Why not go for OEM, if you don't like the clear plastic then why not try tinting it yourself?

 

[Andymacselespeed]

Got nothing against OEM on the whole, just that the original items look a little dull!

Do the Stilo repeaters fit anything else, a car with a wider following with units that fits the Stilo may be easier to find an alternative for.

What about these.

Udtrev in the New Panda section has got them on his Panda and they look good.

Slightly pricey, but I'm very tempted.

Then in black smoked would be spot on, I don't think blue would look remotely okay on a red car!

Stick them (or the seller) in your watched box on eBay as they have done smoked ones in the past. Possible just out of stock at the mo?

I've got a spare OEM side repeater if you want it ... they're pretty cheap directly from Fiat, so when I replaced one of mine, I got a spare

 

[Andymacselespeed]

Nice spotting, I may well take a punt at them, are they good fit and quality?

 

[udtrev]

The Blue ones are on my Panda

What is thge difference between pre 10/03 repeaters and post 10/03 repeaters, my car was made pre 10/03 but the repeaters in that ad are post 10/03 fitment!

Do they cross over, or do I have to look for repeaters tagged as pre 10/03 update?

Cheers

Erm, doesn't the pre/post 2003 refer to the Panda, namely these are for the current version rather than the classic Panda ?

Whats the build date of your Panda then? As they ddn't start building until Oct 03 iirc.

Correct.

 

[Andymacselespeed]

They ain't for a Panda, they're for a Stilo.

The E-Bay ad reads

Replacement for your white side repeaters of all Fiat Panda (03-),Stilo,Scudo,Idea,Multipla (04-) and Grande Punto. Exclusive crystal black side lights from MTS.

I read that as Stilos, after 2004.

Should that be read as all stilos, Pandas post 2003 and Multiplas post 2004?

Indeed

I can personally confirm that these will fit your Stilo

Lovely, I bought a set of crystal clear ones in the end at a cost of £4.50 a side.
