Title: Europa 47 rear lights
Post by: vigzag on Saturday,March 15, 2014, 05:32:22 AM

Dear All, can somebody inform me as to whether the D shaped rear lights are flat across the back or curved as in attached photos. Thanks.

The ones in your photos are not correct.

They are supposed to be flat across the bottom, but as Valerio says, you can cut it flat and it will fit.
