Who is this teenage girl called Barb?
.......... and why is Reggie complaining about the look of her rear end

In a desperate attempt to get this back on track and out of paedophile court.
I think the rear of the falco is one of it's best aspects, but each to their own.
IIRC there have been some who have made old model and new model mille tail sections fit.
With a bit of imagination, glass work and a saw I'd be surprised if you couldn't make almost anything fit

I would agree with you Dale, it looks fine to me.
Mine is a black Falco, so has a smoked rear lens, which looks better when parked.
It has a simple LED bulb conversion, which looks a bit different and is more visible, day or night.

easy enough to do if you have working hands geoff....
actually, i think Howard has one of gregD's smoked lenses and the LEDs are available as a direct plug in bulb
and nooj did produce some LED boards
as well as some more bespoke work for some of us

Let's face it, you wouldn't go to a nurse to get good advice on a problem with a Falco - you'd choose an Engineer or a mechanic...

I have one of Greg-D's smoked lenses and one of Nooj's original LED boards.
.... though both of the ones I have are out of production

For me the rear end looks OK from the side, but there's a bit of a baboon ass thing going on from the rear with the red lenses.
Anyone prepared to part with smoked lenses then?

As Andy said.
A smoked lens looks good on a bronze Falco, it's essential on a fast Black one.
So sorry but I'll not be selling mine.
You'll just have to offer Greg a lot of money!
