Welcome!

Might want to start it off with what plans you have for the car, and what you've already done to it.


They exhaust trims or do you have an exhaust system on it?

Interior looking a lot smarter now! Amazing how a few small touches can make a huge difference









Stubby aerial to smarten up the roof a bit.



Bit of cleaning under the bonnet, ITG panel filter in for now. Have a few plans for early next year with a full samco hose kit and hydro-dipping various covers and plastics.

 

[Chris]

MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!!!

Just a few pictures from yesterday, me and dad decided to go out for a drive and it was a stunning day! As you can see he owns a 58' plate cup in French racing blue. His car looks incredible with his recent wheel refurbishment.
