Has to be the black, bought the paint yesterday. :lol:
But the red and white in that pic does look good. And you Bugger, white or the black ?
Mine wont be doing actual duty like your will so I like the white but for duty black will be easier to keep "clean"

ill go around to this chappie in this week.
the light arm gadgetdoes not look as if it would fit onto the roof but rather acts as a side mirror and warning light. ill see if i can get a better pic.

Dutch_Diver wrote:Great Bugger.....I might have an original siren switch in the secret stash that I was going to use in Mo when I thought about fitting some hazard lights....I will see if I do have it and will let you know....It was one of those late nights being stuck infront of Ebay and winning stuff you really didn't need!

It wasn't cheap either :oops:
Dutch have you had a look for the switch yet ??
