Congrats on the car. That is one nice looking ride. Did you fit the kit yourself or did you get it like that.

Only thing I would do is take the Ghia badges off the guards.

thanks guys, yea ive been thinking of taking those badges off, make it a bit cleaner, and the kit was already on the car when i bought it, since ive bought it ive had to fix numerous things that didnt work like the sunroof wouldnt slide back into the roof wich is now fixed, central locking wasnt working, few other electrical problems wich are all fixed now, i put the new motor in last weekend, and a few other bits and pieces (like clear repeaters) and yea she gets a clean at least every 2 weeks
