when i first wanted a sapph, i wanted everything under the sun modifed on it but then i joined the RSOC and went to a couple of shows and started to see them in standard form and that was it i wanted a standard one.
all my mates said you need some clear front indicators and side repeaters but i just love it the way it is. its a bit of a rare look now day with most poeple opting for clears.

Remember those pics paul from your post when you got it an amazing looking car in standard form mate not that it doesnt look nice now.
Really love the standard sleeper look do it paul, lets start the standard thing off again and i think others will follow.
Nothing wrong with modding the cars(engine, brakes etc) just think looks wise there the bollox and look great standard.
