Blame the painter, they were the right way round in the first picture. 
I like that, but I also like the way it looked before.

Re: Greek Dolly Returns
Strangely enough, I still believe that the front indicator/marker lamp units are safer fitted the "wrong" way.
Why? Well because the cars have no repeaters as standard - unless you have an Italian-spec one - the only way the front indicators are visible from the side is when the lens are at the outer edge of the body, the way that most other cars have them.

Re: Greek Dolly Returns
beautiful car Vikelis, has it been resprayed in carmine (and polished up very well) or is it a new/different red ?
I agree with JPB, the indicators work better on the outside, but I say this as I also made the mistake of following logic and installed them "wrong way" around.
