Good project, keep it white but go darker rims, although less is more when when it comes to modding a classic.

Looks a nice car, even with odd colured bumpers lol

Wouldn't it be cheaper to buy the correct colour parts? Or is body work need respray aswell?

I said that to the seller wen i brought it lol I think its because it's lowered not sure what suspension its got yet but it sits nice witch makes the multi coloured bumpers look ok lol it was silver some ones sprayed it but left no paint code witch is a problem .my cousins had a few white subs in the garage but none are the same as mine or he would have let me swop the bumpers. So looks like a spray job wen I get the rusty archers sorted. The sprayer thinks he will match the paint

so just have to see how it goes it might end up being to shades of white

Looks clean, maybe trade off the bumpers for some white ones? I wish we got the turbo gc8's in the states. The NA 2.5 is fun especially with the ra gear set and 4.44's, but not the same. Swapping is easy enough if you buy a merge harness.
Congrats on your new car

If he's admitted fault you could score properly there.
Insurance will probably write if off and as you seem pretty competent with the spanners, it shouldn't cost you that much to put right.

Ahh brilliant! Always good to use a recording etc, he'll back down when he knows you have that. Good to hear it's not too bad mate! Good stuff!!
