Swapped over the grill for an early 7 slat one. Also I've never been to the ring even if the car has so removed the northloop.co.uk sticker as well as Alex's name from the windows.

Some new pics.





Some retro Compomotive goodness wrapped in R888s.

Bring this as I need to pick up wheels and bumpers and I won't get them in the Rado without rubbing and hassle.

Rob: Sold the camper to buy this so only 2 for me and 2 for Lizzie!

Found some white hammerite in the shed so painted the metal strip under the grill as it was black. Colour match ain't up to much but it looks lots better!

From those photos I can see why you'd swap to small bumpers, cos those look saggy and w@nk.

R888s look almost new.  You've done well there - Toyos are about £70 per hoop.

What a difference a day makes!

Rear lights swapped for standard items and small bumpers fitted. Going to need the wing brackets front and rear for the bumpers. Also need a replacement front valance as it's been hacked about to fit the spots on the big bumpers and a front splitter. Not to mention a quick blow over with rattle can after a quick sand to get rid of the surface rust.

Looks much less chav and more retro. Result!
