Silver stripes with black alpina wheels and a polished silver lip (not too polished or it will look too tarty)

Yeah but I'm still f*ckin' good!

I nearly bought one of those white (i call it negative) JPS Capris off a mates company back in oooh, it must have been 1982 - 83. It was only the 1.6 and it had about 90k up. Trouble was 90k on a Capri back then was star ship enterprise mileage. Funny how things change.

i have but he's being slow! I've got a backup place if this goes tits up with this other guy. So i need to sort this asap, as i'd like it done before crimbo, so i can spend the holiday doing a bit of the refit!

Ordered new badges today and am stock piling lots of new parts to keep it ticking over. The more bits i've got sitting waiting to go back on the longer i can spend getting it back together are my thoughts.

It's gonna look great in silver.
My only thought was do everything, stripes and wheels, one colour.
Agreed silver will be better than gold...

Bob, satin black is council and will leave your suspension looking like a Russell Hobbs kitchen appliance.

Matt black is the way to go 8)
