Default Started cleaning....

Decided the other day to take off the front grill & give it a clean while I had a spare hour..as you do. Then thought I'd take out the h/light & give it a clean behind there. Then removed the indicator...then thought I may as well take off the other light..then the other indicator. Had loads of waxoil sprayed in there...and altho I haven't done the inner wings yet, here's a pic of how it looks so far. Note that i also took off all the clips & bonnet stops as I'm gonna get new items. I also have brand new headlights to refit, but not sure wot to do with the indicators..hence the poll. Btw..no calling me bufty..just wanted to give it a clean whilst I had the opportunity.



Pic of car showing indicators & side repeaters for the poll.

Cheers for the comments btw.

Edited to add: It's photoshopped..found the original pic with your car parked next to it. Lol. Looks very good tho Danny,cheers. Have you got any more pics of the car?

There's a set of brand new 17" polished 7 spokes on e-bay currently at Ł500 without tyres..but too close to christmas for me to afford..and no-one else is gonna get them for me. Unless the S2 sells....

Finally finished polishing the engine bay paintwork I wanted yesterday..so started on the rebuild. As you can see, I've decided to keep the orange indicators on.

Original indicators all cleaned up & painted ready for refitting:


Indicator and other clips refitted:


New headlight fitted:


Just got the grill to clean/polish and refit and it's sorted for now.

i got clears on mine, they were on it when i bought it but he give me the orange
ones, the only thing that lets down the clears is they are not a perfect fit
and you can see the orange bulb, if i had spot lamps i would consider putting
orange ones back on.
