I'd get it cut out & take it from there tbh. If you can get away with putting a neat plate on from the headlight side with all the grot cut out then go ahead. Just remember to well protect it from the other side when finsihed
Yoko's on the front a539's & they are pretty good I reckon. On the back I got Continentals as I needed them asap at the time & although they don't look as good as the Yoko's I must say they ain't bad either.
Sorry to say though, I did prefer the Potenza's
Hmmmm ... i'm not too sure Think you'd have to go for tinted indicators aswell if you do. I was never keen when they fit them to mk3/4 Escorts & Sierra's, Nova's etc I always prefered the standard lights with clear indicators.
£175 ain't bad.
Esp if your car is anything like Al's, Posse's, KevMk2's, P.I.G's, etc, etc & worth a small fortune
Spose it depends how much the car is worth & exactly what it means to you.
Mate of mine got two. A freshly restored blue/white one with standard running gear for now & a black TVR V8 one that's been at Pod the past few years for CF/Retro Show etc
I wanted two replaced last year after Shakey & they couldn't get hold of them. Said they weren't making them 'at that moment in time' but gave the impression that they were only temporarily unavaliable.
Shame if so as they were bloody good tyres & I had to settle for Continentals.
