my latest 75 :)

Hi all..

a Pic of my latest 75.. that's now 3.. and will have to stop there for a bit me thinks..

its a 2000 1.8 Classic in Moonstone.. and it seems to be quite original apart from the horrible wheel trims.. will go to alloys if I can't get any proper rover wheel trims in the next few weeks.

it had a "missing" problem - now sorted.. and a couple of other running probs - now sorted.

it also needs a slight repair to the front RHS of the bonnet or bonnet changing.. and I may also fit sandstone leather interior.. no rush on that though..

anyway - am chuffed with her..

Nice one, I've recently done the same (got my third). Getting them sorted is a very satisfying process.

Oh if its a base classic you gotta get the wheel trims for it and keep it epic base spec!

Whoever put those wheel trims on wants shooting!

There's a chap near me with an 05 classic. Only one I've ever seen with the plastic wheel trims. They look brilliant. You have to try and find some! I tried, along with steel wheels, was unsuccessful. Never seen any for sale so guessing they're quite rare?

thanks all.. and yep - the wheel trims seem to be rare..

and yes - the one fitted are ugly as hell... god knows what they were thinking when they fitted them..

anyway - am keeping my eyes open for some rover ones ..

Very unusual being a classic! Worth preserving, and getting Rover trims. There used to be a set near me, which I wanted as I was going to run steel wheels over winter, but decided to get cheap Crowns instead!

Classic spec is awesome, especially with wheel trims

Kev, I have a set of Contour alloys you can have FOC

Better than kacky wheeltrims, and still Classic spec
