I suppose you've got the chrome round the windows and want chrome wheel arches to finish it off? :giggle:

Just kidding, nothing wrong with wanting the old skool look :cool:

chrome arches hide the rust. I'm fitting these and adding some filler sanding and spraying them in 8O

not worth fitting really mate,

the front bumper will go on fine using the early type mounts, but the rear
bumper will be a right pain, its really not worth doing in my opinion
