If you go down that road you should go with the all original look...... which would mean selling me the rear lights too!

I appreciate all the hard work you have put into this car, but i'd have it looking how it did when you got it...
I remember seeing it at Ford Fair years ago with steelies on, 90 spec RST Recaros and even an average looking mild steel tailpipe. Really neat job it was the bollocks

ye the orange indicaors and maybe the standars rear lights might have to go back on, and may take the racing puma seats out for some small light weight ones
