That’s a very good question I know in the USA they put them in the grill but I am sure I have seen a Capri with what I can only say are Mini indicators under the bumper on the body work .

I might have a picture but will have to try and search . But here’s the USA car .

I think a lot of people use the MK3 indicators and mount them on the ends of the plastic moulding on the front valance. If you cut the ends off this moulding there is an opening that they are easy to fit into.

Personally, I would be putting the Mk3 bumpers back on the MK3 and the MK2 bumpers back on a MK2 but each to their own.

Hi,
You could fit any number of aftermarket indicators, there's lots of possible solutions depending on your taste.
I saw a Capri at a show earlier in the year that had the main indicators mounted low down on the wing. I thought it produced a nice clean look to the front of the car. You can just about see them in this photo:

I did a modified front end on a MK3 many years ago and I simply made up a couple of small brackets behind the front grille and mounted some small indicator units there. Until the indicators are actually working you don't really notice them behind the grille.
