smoked looks v nice, just about to do mine red the DIY way, found some stained glass window spray for sod all, that and a clear coat looks good (on my test set anyway!) But if you really dont like em, send em to me and i will suffer with a smoked set and send you my standard ones, just for you mind!

yours has a surround but not an original one by the looks of things, nice motor hardtop a great thing to have but tends to knacker your roof as cab roofs are really not designed to be folded down for long periods of time, but a small trade off for all year drivability and security.

mate in bahrain working on high voltage power cables, kind of a large scale cable guy. been here in the middle east for ever! nice place but too hot in summer for the cab!! winter driving only!!

Yeah me too but in Riyadh, dad moved out there in 1979 with a younger me in tow, they are still in middle east but partly retired in spain (easy life) i have been working in mid east for 8 years now, firstly in saudi but in Dammam and i moved over to Bahrain three years ago.

Much better place, as its free with bars etc much like back home, and yes it seems to get hotter every summer, for your interest its an air temp of 41C today and they factor in the humidity (much like a wind chill factor) and give us an apparent temp of 53C today (127F for anyone on old money)

but not all bad, my cab stays in its garage for the summer and re-appears in October where we get till April/May to dirve opentop! opposite of you lot! Fortunately got a sport to tide me over the summer so all good.

I think smoked or red would look good. If you choose red i will swap with my red (not sprayed) rear lights?! Just an offer! :cool:
