Definitely clear, the crystal clear ones are chav, and don't suit the E30 M3. Smoked looks good on darker colours.

Clear! but not the crystal ones as all the new cars have. Unless you upgrade the headlights as well.

To be honest I think orange looks good on the M3, never changed mine but did change them on the 320is, thought they made that look a bit old and dated, wierd.

If you do go clear i'd stick with normal clear as the crystal ones look a too modern and a bit chavy , plus the crystal clear indicators dont match the normal headlight, you know, with the glass cut instead of the reflector.

I am going to get some clear lenses with chrome bulbs to replace the front and side indicators.

Having seen other Nogaro silver cars with them I think they are well suited.

I have seen that you can get either clear or crystal lenses (forget smoked ones). Which is best/ least chavvy of the two because I haven't seen them next to each other to compare.

Opinions please.
