Hi Ian,
Wondered where you'd been hiding

. Car looked better when you had it - sorry, but I just can't bring myself to like the bad boy front light conversion that it now sports - looks a bit chavtastic

Well were all entitled to opinions, and i fully respect that...but im happy the Way it is, the "Recaro interior" was retrimed professionaly im told, with all matching Trims / mats, ive maintained the Car so far with money no object....but really im OK with as is. Dont expect to keep the Car as Poor Health , and i do spend a lot of time on it....not easy now.
