Where did you buy the seats from? I'm after a couple of fronts in cream too. The alternative is I start to refurbish my existing pair soon. :D

I got lucky I had been looking for a long time, then came across these at a scrap yard in west drayton (Middlesex). The car being broken had been on ebay for an hour so I got straight down there and done a deal with the bloke.

There is a set on ebay ending today on bid's

Car looks cleannnn. You could tint your rear lights. I've just done a set for a mate. Look a lot better than normal and doesn't cost much:

No, needs to stay with the amber rears and go back to amber front and sides.

Also a chrome kidney grill then it will look great.

The colour and the chrome bumpers dictate this.

If the chrome kidney grill is going back on and amber fronts/sides as you say, then i agree with amber rears. If not, red rears.
