So to the sloppy gear stick. I found the play was in the gear linkage.I took it off and found it to be worn.
So i put a piece of plastic over the worn part and its worked a treat.

I even but my momo arrows on the front whilst i start to clean the standard wheels and paint them. I think they suit the car in a strange way.

surprised when you had the lenses apart you did not paint the inserts black as that does look well, also I did see somebody selling your missing washer cap on ebay, as soon as I get those those washer covers in stock they sell like hot cakes and Im down to 2 moondust 170s now
