Lovely paint job - facelift headlights would make the front end perfect!

Got to stop spending! I have enough to do once the weather sorts itself out. I have a full set of suspension arms, POR15'd with polybushes in waiting to be fitted, plus a set of Meister R's. Oh, and refurbish the cam cover ... and fit the full height wind deflector ... and rear view mirror with clock ... and subwoofer ...

I still have an extra set of headlights after a few time wasters

. However, those pre-facelifts work really well the paint. Well done!

I ran the whole of the summer like that. Temperature gauge never moved from normal.

I remember thinking about flow restriction when I fitted the grill to my old S; as a plate is quite a bit more restrictive (!) and bearing in mind the rad location, its not something that I'd do but if the gauge is ok, its ok
