John Mack 337 Posted January 8, 2014 Are your number-plates original or have you replaced them ? Car looks bloody good.....love that shade. :thumbup: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
littlenewt2067 33 Posted January 8, 2014 I think the fogs look best under where the overrider sits, but if you have washers I suppose you are limited? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
trusty 1 Posted January 8, 2014 origanal no plates mate & still got its rear window sticker yeah fogs need to go under washers i may have to make a bracket or summin as the triangle brackets will bolt into the frt panel but i really prefer to mount on the frt panel rail Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
trusty 1 Posted January 8, 2014 (edited) few more revarnished the wood front /rear seat cloth taken off n washed n shampooed n re fitted door cards removed n shampooed did try some fishnet headrests aswell but prefer the ghia ones better so changed back rear plate frt plate [/url tried some various rs rims but prefer the ghia look 15" rs 7 spokes were far too heavy but looked great rs 4 spoke flat face didnt look deep enough debating weather to loose chrome bumpers n go with blck ones i had off an old crusder i had ?

wreckers771 4 Posted January 8, 2014 I think the tinted rear lights look better on darker coloured cars but its personal choice but I would say that I got mine from buttons and they were not a straight fit-had to shave the insides down a bit. I had bit ov trouble with them letting in water where the red and black lenses join on the outside as well!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wreckers771 4 Posted January 9, 2014 Not grief-just time consuming as I wanted a propper fit. They may also look the dogs danglies once u get then on ur car!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
John Mack 337 Posted January 9, 2014 i want the fogs mounted under the wASHER JET OVER RIDER BUT THE DIAGRAM SAYS MOUNT THEM IN THE CORNERS UNDER THE END CAPS ? I lined mine up with the inside edge of the headlight, when further out nearer the end cap it looked like it was sticking out too much due to the curve of the panel. I'm not jealous of your headlight skooshers, no, not a bit! :drool: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
