    Top Marques apparently did a better job than BBR on those F50 indicator lights.
    The rest is not as good, but it’s half the price. A good alternative.

    Hm…

    I’d really like to see the rear of that F50. I find it to be quite interesting, but I wanna see how they handled the rear With the lights and large grill

    As far as I know, yellow is the only colour on the F50 where the headlight sockets are black.

      You are partially correct. Even tho technically, the yellow ones did not come with black headlight housings from the assembly line either. Those were just a popular “option” on the yellow cars that a lot of customers asked for or had done to their cars. The F50 came out of the factory only in red, black and yellow. Anything else was done outside the factory. The black cars already had black light housings and the red cars looked better in all red. Out of the supposed 349 F50s made, only 31 were yellow and the majority of them wear black headlight housings, but they all rolled off the assembly line with yellow ones.
      Fun fact – No F50 was sold brand new. They were all leased with a purchase option after a preagreed time period of minimum 2 years. This was done to prevent the speculation fiasco that the F40 caused. Which is why you don’t see F50s change hands as often. As a matter of fact you don’t see many F50s out in the open, period.
