Hi mate, I didn't know had a sapph now? Re the badges mate, I'm just gonna leave it to them to fit them but I will ask them what they've used to stick them on for you and let you know mate

As for where to fit them, I should have a pic of mine from the back so you can reference from that if you want?

Karl

Thats a shame Karl, but you have come this far and now you know the car is in good hands you might as well get it all done

Loving the latest pics looking so fresh

Won't be long mate and your be back behind the wheel with 500 Horses

Yea white 2wd totally standrad at min,if you could ask what product they use to stick the badge on with that would be great,i think i will have to measure the badge on another car to to get it 100% right

Blimey! I'd keep the D40s if they're in good nick mate, btw, do you want a mint wheel for your spare? I had it powdercoated when I first bought my car and haven't used it since, its no use to me so its yours if you want it, foc!

I do need a spare as it didnt come with one thanks,very good of you,problem with the D40s is they have flat spots in them and i can feel it when driving as car has been in storage for 12 years.
