Thanx

hopefuly have updates soon, all the stuff is away being powder coated at the mo .

fezzajsy · 29-01-2009, 09:42 PM

looking good mate..am changing my smoked rear to orange ones too..

neo · 31-01-2009, 07:55 PM

i think the orange looks old on a silver car defo prefer the white/smoke combo, i tend to think when the lights and stuff are wrong the car has has a repair and any old replacements were fitted and not the the correct ones type thing...

your car though...

KSA-Cossie · 31-01-2009, 07:57 PM

You're a brave man m8,looking great btw.

benporter · 31-01-2009, 08:10 PM

thanx for the comments, i just found the ambers in a box and thought id try them thats all, the rears were never gona stay but ive come to realy like the indicators and side repeaters so they will be staying

fezzajsy · 31-01-2009, 08:15 PM

I see in your sig you're looking for new headlights.

Did you get any?

I got a set a month or two ago from GMS capri spares, when i asked he reckoned he had a couple o sets.....might be worth a phone call.

Car looks great by the way.
