The old fashioned way by hand, ideally with me in the drivers seat while someone adjusts the glass for me.

It teaches you to get the adjustment right and just leave it there.

Not even an adjustment lever, push the glass.

It has electric windows all round, air conditioning or will have again once I get the replacement parts. The only thing it doesn't have is electric mirrors, they are not even heated.

You don't know you are born.

The plugs are there in the doors waiting, they must utilise the same loom for all cars and just not use the plug for the mirror connection.

I would hope it would just be a matter of connecting the mirror, installing the mirror adjustment switch as I dare say the plug is probably there as well for the mirror switch again just not used and away to go, but these things are never that easy...

But I don't miss folding, heated or adjustable mirrors in the slightest to be honest so I might just leave as is.

Here we are Dean, but they aren't going to be cheap wheels as they are brand new around £2500 plus tyres, centre caps which cost me over £150 and the wheel nuts £120. Below is a link to a thread on them:

No worries Ryan, I`m just getting a little tired of mine now, It only gets used at the weekend due to work van and **** me starting it under a carport is interesting to say the least

Apart from that i went on a trackday at elvington and got a 102db reading so its a tad too loud for me, After 7 years of scooby ownership i think im going down the sublte/understated route now, Well as much as i can with what i drive anyway

I love the AP's in red, black is ok but red looks far better to me.

The AP brakes were on the car when I bought it but I prefer these calipers in red, I'm looking for a set of rears as well but they're like hens teeth.

I bought the APS FMIC second hand but it's a real niece piece of kit, well made and fits very well.
