Cheers bud, Need to do some bits to it tomorrow and give it a good clean so will get some more pics up, I was really surprised at how good it looks, keeping with the no chrome at all on the car

Kind of the route I'm taking with mine... No chrome, only two key colours, black and red...  My exhaust is huge, may copy you but not sure it will work with mine?

Done a full service in the last few days, started running like a bag of sh!t just lately, the trader I bought it from said he had done a service on it the day before I bought it so thought 5000 miles later should be ok for me to do one. WRONG!!
Fecking lying Tw@t Bar steward hadn't done one at all by the looks, the oil that came out of the engine was like tar and the oil filter felt like it was welded on, my own fault i guess but not to worry.
Did a full oil and coolant flush, the coolant system was full of sh!t too, soaked the expansion tank to gt rid of all the sh!t in it and cleaned out all the hoses and radiator, replaced the air filter and fuel filter and replaced the screen wash, did the spark plugs and HT leads when I got her cos she had a bit of a mis-fire.
Replaced the lower part of the crankshaft sensor hose as this was dripping oil, put it all back together, filled her all up and off I went, running sweet as.......
However, looks like the sump gasket needs replacing now   still one drop of oil on my drive on a morning so been under her and it seems to be coming from the front of the sump pan where it joind the block BASTARD  
Well keeps me busy I suppose

Exhaust looks ok.  No point in oem bling on a daily, would only go nasty again with the fumes anyway.

Shame about the condition of the oil etc but I never trust a seller.  Even when I'm told it's just serviced the first thing I do is do my own within a couple of days for piece of mind.  I was told that mine had run on mobil 1 all it's life when i bought it and had recently just been serviced. I still redid it all..... Turned out he was telling truth.
