No big secret ! To get them to flash orange i ended up pin striping the indicator lenses like this

I used Red lens and bulb dye spray paint by a company called 'specialty'.
I didn't want to use this stuff cos it comes out of the can terribly, i found it helped to keep shaking it every 5 seconds but it still squirts out rather than spraying. The best stuff is made by Savage or Foiltech, but i can't find it anywhere in Australia, i ordered some from the UK but customs binned it as you need a liscense to import paint.

I experimented on one of them and found if you build up the layers (about 4-5 coats) you can sand it back with 1200 wet and dry until its flat again. The mistake i made last time i done it was not clear coating them, they faded back to orange in a year or so. This time i used an Enamel based clear coat on them, about 3-4 thin coats, then cut them back with 1500 wet and dry then T-Cut, then Polish.

Looks great!

Hmnn now all I need are some GL/CL tails and match up the blinkers. Where did you purchase the bulb paint from?

Hi Carpoid, nice work your rado is looking sexy! What are the specs of your 16" RS? I have recently bought some, but are 4 x 114 and can't be redrilled to 4 x 100. Am trying to find some 4 x 100 16x7". Cheers.

Hi mate, my new RS are 17", 5x100.

The 16's i had were RS 003's, they are 4x100 ET25 with the correct Centrebore at 57.1mm, they are a factory fit, but they don't come cheap unless you are lucky - mine went for $2950 on eBay.

Pics of the 16's.....

Another option for you would be to get your hubs redrilled and tapped to the matching PCD, a guy on the UK Corrado forum has 5x100 hubs with 5x112 drilled on them too so he can run both PCD's ....

What offset are yours ? No room for adapters ?
