Looks an amazing example! Such an eye-catching colour, and a lovely interior. I remember thinking it looked brilliant when I saw it on ebay. Look forward to reading your updates.

Thank you chaps, comments very much appreciated

Last photo today, been fiddling with the lights in the dark... Think I need white burners now, they look a bit orange against the LED side lights

The above image is a perfect example of standard 4300K burners, I dare say the colour has also deteriorated over the years. 6000K will match those LED's perfectly and lift the look of the car.

I think bumper off will be a job for the next Spanner meet Paul

Am I correct to think these are what I need?

if those pictures accurately shows what they'll look like then they are missing metal cages which are there for a little bit of protection, Matty sells them in his shop now (even though the pic doesn't show them he assures us they do have the cages)

They will do the job nicely. We did the change of burners on McClaran's car and the differance was night and day.

Much looking forward to the next Spanner meet.

Thank you chaps, ill go with the ebay ones I think

Couple of small updates

Fitted a new head unit, with Bluetooth and a separate Mic, so far very impressive, I have made calls on the motorway, and as yet, no complaints of I can't hear you, so thumps up so far.

Also had a some scuttle clips delivered and some Fir Tree sill clips too, so will get round to those.

Another annoying issue is wind noise, the drivers door seems a bit misaligned as can be seen here, so need to work out how to adjust it.

Its been a frustrating weekend, I have the following parts to fit, and can't due to chopping my finger tip off and slicing my hand open.

1) K&N panel filter
2) sill trim clips for carpet retainer
3) set of stainless bolts to dress up the engine bay
4) Window scuttle clips
5) Bosch wiper blades
6) stainless exhaust tips

Only bits, but would have kept me busy.
