On the other hand, having seen Andy's car. Colour coding can be GREAT. So i believe that Andy is right. If you don't like it when finished, i have a nice 50 Grade Sandpaper.

Paul, in all honesty, i think the silver bugeyes at the top look best on your particular car. Did you have morrettes before, I cant remember?

I'm thinking of swapping my morrettes for the UK300 lights, so if you decide not to keep em let me know.

Paul - IMHO if you keep the uk300's leave em black. If you decide to go with morrettes mail me about maybe p/x-ing the uk300's for the morrettes

hi fulham71

I just see your car about an hour ago going though sutton near the train station it's a nice looking car but it would be so much better colour coded.
you could have gave me a lift to belmont as you were going that way
