Pulled it out of the garage yesterday day for a little warm up/ wash. Got some up to date photos. Not much done really. Got rid of the yellow tinting and new indicators. I've bought bulls eye head lights so will fit those once I get them. Got my brother putting all the trim and skirts etc back on this weekend if all goes to plan. Then it'll be mot time in about 2 weeks!

Cheers! I did like the yellow but it is a bit old now days. I've invested in some awesome metal polish recently which brought them back to life :cool:

I have used meguiars metal polish in the past and thought it was the dog's at the time. I was introduced to britemax and I would never go back now.

For sale!!! Needs a few finishing trims putting on which are with the car! And think it needs a new brake servo too. Has 9 months MOT.

I think you'll regret it, but I can't deny that i've thought about selling up. It's show season, take it to a couple and show it off a bit?
