lovely looking, the little details make all the difference, first thing i noticed was how smooth it looks around the rear lights and think the leds suit it and the filler look great


Thanks, mate.

The smooth rear lights some how bring it more up to date, I think.

Ditto. That is truly gorgeous. I was thinking of Pearl white, but black really suits the coop too. The only downside to black is it's a bugger to look after.

Actually there was a Japanese alloys maker, making rims which looked like the 20vt rims, but in 18's. Only problem, was I didn't know the fittment, and can't speak Japenese... \:D

That is very true. That said, she's only driven once or twice a week and kept garaged at other times. I also actually enjoy waxing a car off after a good clean.

Thanks for the comments!

Let us see!

The option I looked into would cost £800 for the mould (but that would be only one) and about £350-400 per wheel depending upon the widths.

So first set around £2300, sets after about £1500-1600.

I may look into it further, as a finishing touch, but not for a long time yet! \:\(

I like the flush filler cap idea, but I don't really like the style of the cap...looks a bit max power/chav. If it was like the standard one but recessed then that'd look good. All imo of course, if you're happy then that's what matters.

i think the whole thing looks absolutely sensational. i like black when it's done well and kept clean, and this car is possibly the best in terms of style and condition i've ever seen - especially when you consider it's age and mileage. well done to you circolo........

Cant think of a way of doing it, but if there was a way to recess/hide (or similar) the wipers then the smoothness of the finish from the front would be amazing. \:#

Take the arms off & see what the effect looks like....think you may be amazed.

Stunning looking! [shabba] Give! [/shabba]

A lot of thoughts gone into the styling and while every aspect may not be to everyones taste i must say that the attention to details more than compensates for that.

She's due a service in May/June. So I'll be getting her booked in for Mar. \:\) -Nothing wrong with more frequent than neccessary servicing...

She's only driven once or twice a week (approx 60 miles), so she hardly needs the service. But I still want to keep her serviced up, just in case.

Got some more pics taken, by a mate who runs his own photograhphy business, (weddings, corporate events, etc). Just waiting for the copies, and I'll upload those too.
