HI Stuart

Best Regards

These bits



The black bits on this center console


The black clock surround on that made up with the center bit blanked off (no heater controls ash tray or cigarett lighter) to fit three guages and a Defi control unit. (The center vent wont need doing nor will the switches on the right)



Two of these door handles.

As Nuts Rs says. Not worth it.

Get some self adhesive carbon. And take your time putting it on.

not worth the money as a one off, you would never make the money back EVER for what you will pay to get them made


Save the money and buy some valve caps

'Think' theres a newer version, thats a fair bit more expensive, but looks much closer. But Ive never actually seen it close up.

I think you'll find it's one of the tidyest XR2's about. And worth a bit more than £300.
