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...

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.
