Keep it !  :smiley: How about the ronals and single lamp grill and if going for the smooth look how about taking the front number plate off, smoothing bumper and putting it below the bumper ?  :smiley:

^^^Me n Gib are on the same wavelength - Love those ronals, have the clear indicators and single lamp grill.

KEEP the car.... love the door changes, lowered always looks good. I like the single lights also. What you planning to do to the interior if anything?

Cheers Si, deffo clear indicators, missed that bit  :smiley:

Seems to be a bit of a mixture of the two photos but I got to admit photo shop is a quality way to see what it will look like and get opinions on it. Keep em coming :smiley:

looking good - clear indicators and crystals really clean the front end up. I like the Ronals too. Not sure about removing the strips from the side though. I've always thought of them as a classic feature of a mk1.
I don't own this anymore - I just can't be arsed to change the picture

Keep it,Keep it,Keep it,Keep it, and them ronels, dribble. . . . .

Have the single lamps, crystal lights and looking at it, without the strips it has a nice smooth look!  could stand out from a crowd

most people ive spoken to have said keep it, so looks like i may well just do that. thanks for the nice replies :smiley: i like the ronals with the single lamps not sure on bump strip, seen 1 with a thinner strip which looked nice.

1 question, when raining do other people with mk1 cabs find the front window steams up realy bad so you cant see a thing??? only sorts it having the cold blower on?? it tends to steam up more with the warm on :undecided:
