Very Tidy cabby..

I like the 3rd brake light too.

I bet he will get plenty of use with top down over there..

Any plans for it or is he keeping it standard?

Looks tidy, although with the weather over there I bet it's not too difficult to keep it that way. 

Funnily enough Chalky the one thing I don't like about it is the Centre brake.  Although I believe it's compulsory.

Not sure if its compulsory in Aus, it is in the USA though.

There was a boot lid on E bay a couple of years back with the 3rd brake light and it went for daft money.

I like them but wouldn't want one on my car personally.

It's a Marmite one I suppose.   :grin: :grin:

I can't help thinking the brake light looks like an oversized stick on reflector.  Very Marmite indeed.

Len on here is nearly eligible for a letter from the Queen and he still modifies his MK3, even home made custom bumper work!  :shocked:
