Indicators look fine, maybe you mean side lights?

If that's what they are, I just think the matt/satin finish classes with everything else being so clear and bright - maybe need to be a glossy finish

That is very nice mate! There's been a couple interesting modified classics on SN recently that stand out from the usual crowd of halfords/ripspeed ram raiders and yours is one of them
22b bumper suits it well and the engine bay looks good.

Dont get the RA short box, it will ruin the car.

Yes it may feel faster because you change gear more often but its slower.....

Trust me been there done that! Also tried the longer 5th, thats rubbish too as it spoils the flow with a massive drop from 4th to 5th.

Remember the "short" box was homologated for restricted cars ie grp N. I very much doubt yours will be.

What would you recommend then? Keeping a tight budget in mind!!
