Hope you guys had a blast last Sunday, was gutted to miss it but getting the car spot on is taking time. If there's any meets in the near future I should be ready to attend

A work in progress

I was thinking of doing one thick stripe and one thin stripe the same colour as the wing mirrors on the right hand side of the bonnet

Was thinking about putting stripes on the bonnet too, any advice?

So far she's done over 155k miles, doesn't miss a beat

Headlights to be restored soon

The spoiler does look the better fit, will see what the grill looks like after I've painted them.

Loved reading this entire thread, you've given me some good ideas (don't worry I won't be copying from you ?) and definitely some food for thought.

Well everybody's entitled to their opinion and I appreciate the comment. Once the bumpers, door handles and badges are finished then it will all tie in. IMO I think colour coding has been done time and time again, I prefer to stand out and not follow the herd and want my car to reflect that.

Any help on what sizes I could go for without messing with spacers or my suspension would be gratefully received

Yeah I was thinking the spokes are a bit on the skinny side, trying to find something subtle but also something that stands out from the crowd

However I was looking at these

Other than the alloys I'm going to keep the outside looking stock, apart from the obvious coloured plastics. Speaking of alloys, I've not seen any that have caught my eye. Not sure if they'll be coloured or not either.

What ive done on the exterior so far

Jobs I want to do soon are:- Colour code bumpers A set of alloys New air intake (hate the big box on my engine) Some decals Amplifier (possibly) Headlight restoration Paint the badges Struts Not sure about anything else
