That polished lip is going to have to be clear-coat lacquered, unless you want to be constantly polishing them to prevent rust, especially in a coastal town!

Shame theres no way of gettin that mk1 fiesta wheel trim to fit properly and naff the ford badge off and replace it with the blue and white version of fireman sams wheels in the middle.Thats certainly a touch that hasn't been done before. Retro ford meets retro bmw with the dish of a borbet winkeye
I'll check with the manager

that is a ford granada cosworth spoiler the new buble shape headlight one. had a little cutting to do mainly the whole yop lip needed about 10mm so it would sit back to make it flush, and an inch on both ends... plus a little in the middle but yeah

imo looks nuts !!!!

cheers dude wont be long now for paint !!!

How do you pronounce 'either'? I say 'either', but some say 'either'. Either is correct.
