loving the saff pal, but think it looks better with clears instead of amber, against the dark rims........

A bit more progress today

Fresh painted grill with new ford badge and grill



Fitted, some more work required here lining up etc



Skits and clips being fitted, only got one back as the other required repainting







repainted jacking point covers and new straps






starting to fit side strips










other side


but i got caught out in the rain

but gave me a chance to see what kind of beading im getting,not bad as it hasn't been polished or waxed in a year





back bumper fitted





didnt expect to get this done today but started striping my police spec seats for cleaning




surprised how easy this was but im not looking forward to putting them back together
