Not the nicest wheel, however, might just save your face/head in a big smash. I've got one on my IX and it's staying on.

Don't know whether it was supplied with cabs, but that little plastic piece is missing from the tool kit. Disappointed!

Wasn't the plastic thingy used to wind up electric windows if they failed?

In lots of countries (not Wales) it is too hot to drop the top and aircon is a necessity.

My latest cab fragger is a UK car but was ordered new with A/C cruise/OBC/HLWW AND most importantly, for those inclement days in the passage, a LSD :D

I am pretty certain when the facelift cars hit the US for the '88 model year, the 'diving boards' were replaced by euro facelift style bumpers , though fitted with the US mandatory side marker lights.

I assume convertibles mirrored europe and did not get the later rear lights and bumpers till '91

Don't think it was a state option, or state legislation.

They were made of aluminium and were only available from 84-88, which I assume was the prefacelift option.

Specsavers >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

I don't have aircon but I do have heated seats.
I beg your pardon. I assumed you had aircon because you are gay. Easy mistake to make. Sorry. :D

About £27'000. For that sort of cash I'd want a nice set of black grilles on the front, unlike the grey one on the (picture) right in the first photo.
