i just bought it from ebay couple of quid but it aint to clever its slowly coming off might use thin layered laminex next time
still passed its mot and all the lights on the rear were red :grin:

What red indicators and reverse?  :grin: must be a relaxed MOT man... I'm taking mine there then. :afro:

yeah lol he never even mentioned anything about them thought it was going to fail on them
]

Obviously wan't bothered as the car was otherwise fine.... Wonder what the fuzz think of them though?  They just look like yank lights.

Darker lights look better, the indicators will look miles better with lamin-x :cool:

I think I prefer the badged grill though :undecided:

i will swap the grill over again take another picture just waiting for my tint removal then i will order some more lamiex up for the indicators
also doing the rear ligths half smoked, going on the rollers on saturday to get the co pot set up hopefully get a power run see how much it has lost over the years

had the g60 upto motorscope today got all the fueling set up properly as it was running way to rich had a power run on the rollers

managed to get engine 189.8 BHP
                      wheels 154.9 BHP
                      torque 180.6 lbft

i thought that was pretty good considering its done over 206k

he pointed out the front pipe and inlet have a slight leak
i will pop a couple of gaskets on when i get time

good results for an old girl :afro:

30hp over standard with charger and chip   :smiley:


I don't think a semi will give the same results
