Really nice, wheels look superb too.
Won't the rear flap close tight. If not it's a good chance that is the flat bar, from the rear motor under the flap, which rotates round which has bent forward. You can remove it with an allen key and flatten it out and than reconnect the ball joint type rod from the flap.
Worked a treat on mine, this has bent quite a few times over the years and is a very simple job to do. Not too advisable but i knocked mine back whilst fitted with a wooden mallet. Careful though.

Saved the larger rear lights for the nice ones....! Whahay. (ducks outa the way)

Cheers,

Andy

Thanks for the nice comments guys.

I am thinking of changing the grill and the rear lights don't belong on the car, the previous owner put some later style smoked ones on with alot of modification and then I changed them for the standard type which I think look good and make the car look more modern than the other sebring motorsports :D

The wheels will be changing to genuine 16" Alpina's with nogaro centers winkeye

Panesar that was more than likely me as I drive that way home everyday.

Pity the rear flap still aint right and its a real bummer when the front wndows overlap the hood.

But still a good looking car.

Have you got your own private photo shoot location ?
