mmm.. tasty! Had thoughts about removing the lights and using them as air feeds (using small indicators only in the corners) - then purchasing some C-West loverlys instead of the pop ups - like the Sterte garage white FD with C-West front. It\'s just the price of the C-West\'s that stops me!

RE: Canards.

 At the end of the day it all comes down to what the MOT iinspector thinks of them, if they feel they are a hazard then they would be cause for failure.  I don\'t think they are actually illegal as such.  Just something that could cause an MOT failure.

 (Oh how I luaghed when I saw a Nova get failed for a GT style wing with a 10" overhang each side of the car!!!)

Cheers Dan, I\'ll be taking off the vinyls shortly (before they become a bugger to remove) then putting on a new set at some point.

Ben,

Please can we see some more pics of the rest of the car.
It looks amazing, top job on it. Nothing over the top.

What wheels are they ?
Volks?

Cheers,

Cheers for the comments Gareth!:cool

Wheels are: Volks - Gram Lights 57 F-Pro (light weight split rims). Just make sure you look at the offset b4 you buy unless you want to get wider arches aswell! :rolleyes:

I really wanted to get some nice shots of the whole car but just haven\'t gotten around to finding a nice location.

I\'ve got some shots somewhere which I\'ll dig out but there not as nice as some of Scuttles night shots at the docks! I\'ll have to borrow him and his location methinks....;)
Cheers
