You been busy ron! I only just seen this thread!

Comming along really nicely m8! What are you going to do with the gap in the smaller headlights? I personally prefered the normal wider ones but perhaps with black stripes, or maybe blue to match the rims, or silver to go with the boot badge or even white as a nice contrast.

Did you put the flamer kit on the new exhaust? (dont forget you still owe me a new boss )
