Turn Signal Project Status

[kirsten.jensen at earthlink.net (Kirsten Jensen)]

Hmmmmm.........

While any Scirocco is better than no Scirocco, in my VERY opinionated but 
still humble view, the Mk. 1 Scirocco (especially the '79) is the best car 
ever and therefore would be the focus of any further effort in part 
replication.    : 0        : )

There are some local Mk. 2 owners who may convince me to get some parts 
made, but for the most part I will be sticking with Mk. 1 Stuffs.

-- and I thought that clears were already available for the Mk. 2 anyway

-- and what is it exactly that everyone likes so much about the clear look??
     I think the stock amber ones are perfect as is........IMVOBSHV

Speaking of which.....it isn't just the clears that will be available when 
all is said and done.  Amber ones have been made as well, and the new shop 
was talking about doing them in other colors too.
