Post clear turn signals

Can it be, that after all the talk of clear turn signals, we've all been overlooking <a href="http://www.essentialstyling.com/clear_indicators.htm" target="_blank">this</a> ?

Turbo/S2 front signals only, and a hideous price tag, but for those of you who really want them, there they are.

What company is that?? They appear to be selling pretty much all the same stuff Van Zweeden also has, only at a higher price...

Those clear signal lense images are also too familiar looking...

The products will be on show at the TiPEC meeting at Walton Hall on Sunday 22nd June and we are taking advance orders for the parts that will be delivered in late June/ July.

Yikes. That seems familiar too, no?

Who knows who is making them, maybe the Germans that posted here a while back?

From the description, I can tell you that they are using cast resin in a silicone RTV mold.

Even in small production runs, 130 pounds sterling is quite the profit margin!

They are the same Swedish lenses what Joakim is selling here !!!

Even that red car is a Swedish car.

I found this same picture from the net last July. Traced the swedish owner (because i wanted these lenses and had tried to start manufacturing process with Dan/Iceshark).

From the owner of this red car i got the contact information of Joakim from whom i bought a set of these clear lenses last year.

So, all of these british & german clear lenses are Joakim's lenses !
Check out the price £130, its about 67 euros more than what i paid of these lenses.

If it is a british made they can at least take them own pics!! Both Germans & British use those Swedish pic !
BTW i will send swedish pics to Sami (who can add them into the list), so you can figure out...

Check out this:
<a href="http://groups.msn.com/Porsche944Sverige/dinwebbsida2.msnw" target="_blank">http://groups.msn.com/Porsche944Sverige/dinwebbsida2.msnw</a>

So now they book orders in and make an order to Joakim. They just take your money!!! Why on earth use "middle-man" here as you can order them directly (cheaper) from Joakim!
Price directly from Joakim is about 122euros. From that british company it's 217euros, so the british will charge you 95 euros more !!! (You have to add freight & handling over both prices.)

The order procedure is easy. Just send a note to Joakim:
Joakim@944sverige.com
And tell him what you need.
Or if you understand Swedish you can make your order via that URL i gave in this message
More pics of clear lenses can be found from these urls:

This last picture is interesting...
This is the pic which is used by german & british ad's !
