Hi,
Thought I'd post a couple of pictures of my Connoisseur SE CDT, especially as she has just had a clean and polish. I'm afraid, yet another silver, Zircon this time. Done 110,000, had two previous owners and judging by the loads of tiny chips in the front bumper paintwork done a lot of motorway driving. Been serviced and had EGR cleaned and I've delved into the plenum, luckily no signs of water. Her she is:-

I'm in East Yorkshire. Hoping to meet Astros whose in North Lincs shortly.
The mirrors unfortunately are not powerfolds and the offside one has a small crack at the bottom, but they polish up a treat :lol:

Have posted some more harbour scenes of J20 hopefully better than the thumbnails posted previously.
Best Regards John.

Yes indeed. I particularly like the first one. The position of J20 is great and nicely balanced by the background, particularly the highlight of the yellow boat which sets it off a treat. The bit of extra space in front of the car gives it somewhere to go and therefore it's not cramped in the shot, which I feel it is in the second one. It's all over very blue but that's no bad thing. The only downside is that it looks quite a lot over sharpened on my monitor, giving a lot of jaggy lines on the car detail.

Bluejon,
looks like added chrome strips above the fog lights and at the rear, because of the shape of the moulding there it should be easy to line up and get straight, what thickness did you use? |

I love the bit of writing above the sills - that just works! Gives it a little class in my opinion.

Sorry I cannot remember size of chrome strip used,but its the same width of the ridge round the bumpers of the mk1.As you say it is easy to line up,better to use a hair drier round the corners so it bends easier,many thanks. Best Regards. John.
