2) Reupholstered front and rear seats (original leather torn and shrunk)
3) The wheels
4) JOM coils and shocks all round

Not on my watch.....

Lovely car, for me the rims ruin it. Not to mention the handling with rims that big. Try watching last night's TopGear and all will become clear.

I fancy one of those 3rd brake lights for my cabby.

I worked out the other day that I'm conditioned to looking for the 3rd brake light on cars in front and assume all other drivers are.

Dolce DC12 18". I bought the wheels and tyres secondhand for $500 ozzie dollars (about 3 shillings and sixpence in your money ) :D. Anyway, they turn a lot heads compared to when I had the stock wheels.

I dont know if there available where you are but you can see them here: http://www.tempetyres.com.au/products_c ... part_no=11

No way, these are the best things I did for this vehicle; might not suit the purists but people REALLY notice the car now. I get "nice car", " love the wheels", "cool car", "please make love to my wife" etc







(I made the last one up :o:)

Nice car but those wheels are awful and probably make it drive like shit.
