nice motor !!  :smiley:
Computer games don't affect kids, I mean if Pac Man affected us as kids, we'd all be running around in darkened rooms, munching pills and listening to repetitive music.

Lovely car. Hope you are going to keep it. And now to hi-jack the thread.(Sorry)
Talking of OE versus pattern, how well do GSF front and rear bumpers fit? I bought a pattern front big bumper (not a GSF one) for my last 8v and the fit was disgusting. :undecided: Had to raise it with the aid of spacers and splitpin the bottom fairing lugs in the wheel arches to make it look half right. :lipsrsealed:
Also the same question for wheel arches and external plastic door trims.

I bought a set about 7 years ago so may not be relevant now but I found the front one OK but the rear one was aweful. The top (textured) section where it meets the panel below the boot was all wavey and as the car was red it showed up really bad. Stupidly I had them painted before I fitted them so when I noticed this I was unable to take it back.
