Default may put the ambers back in....

for all the grief ive given people when they have said they are going to put the standard front indicators - im sorry

car goes in for alot of paintwork today and now im seriously considering putting the front indicators and side repeaters back to standard when it comes back out - even to the point of fitting the original rears aswell


Christ im such a Div

well stripped most of te front of the car down today, and whilst looking at it i can safely say that the ambers will be going back in when it returns to the road.

so you take it back then Mine also still had the original tyres on till last month, when it had a new set for mot!!!

its weird how all cars seem to go through the same stages.
ie cossies here

new under warranty, ambers etc
5-10/15yrs old, people add the fried eggs etc
15+years old people are going back to standard.

i saw the same trend when i had my S1 turbo.

its a good thing i think, as when owners all begin to agree in going back to stock, its normally the sign that the cars are coming of age into classic status.

wonder what my exhaust is worth out of intrest, cant be many left?
