Lotuscops 80 Posted May 23, 2011 Nearly there Colin, just the little finicky bits to do now, have you sorted out how to mount the stainless grill trim or are you not using it now? Hi Dave yes and yes i haven't fitted yet as iv got 2 do a blowin under the headlight. I hope you didn't scratch that lovely paint fitting it up - you should be more careful ! :angel_not: Love the door panels Colin; they look a lot better on the doors with the contrast to the painted areas. Very period look about them. :thumbup: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
