Finally got the old gal' back

[shnozz]

and Sinclaires have done a corking job on the front clam repair. As some of you may recall I had a Land Rover reverse into me in a car park and although it was only a minor shunt it meant a new front clam. I chose to add a few extras whilst the repairs were being done to avoid the allure of an Exige S for a while

New headlights, covers, Alloy radiator (blanked off extra pipes but ready for Hindu S/C if required), armourfend and smoked indicators. That does mean the total spend in the last year is a tad on the steep side, even compared to my old TVRs But worth it

Looks fabulous - although I think you need a new number plate - that one looks scraped to buggery.

Its cheaper than buying a jammer

I know we are all experiencing a lot of heavy rain at the moment, but i couldn't help noticing that, in your third picture, you were wearing a full face diving mask,problems with damp, or was there a strange smell ?

Looking great

What's going on in the last picture, with that back end in the corner of the pic?

to clarify, I can see what it is, but why is it there

You have better eyesight than I do and thats my winter hat - not usually worn in May to wash the car!

most certainly. Next thing to order and trying to decide whether to leave the rear orange indicators. To be honest, I didn't mind the orange on the front/side/back as a contrast to the blue paintwork but felt they wouldn't work with the new twin headlights hence the change to smoked. Now the sides look odd.

Thinking of a second set of reds on the back with orange bulbs hopefully enough to flash orange. Then its a corvette style 4 red rears and the red reflectors beneath.

cheers mate The headlights aren't everyone's cup of tea and cutting the clam to fit them meant I have wussed out in the past as thinking of resale but seeing as it looks as though I will be keeping the car a while and the depreciation that has already taken place in the last year, I thought sod it and have it how I want it!

I want those head lights ! Looks cool.

On a serious note your car looks the dogs bits, well done

T hee ! Car looks beautiful, love the colour too.

That looks great (both the car and the BBQ)! Really tempted to see if I can get the wife to buy me a S1 as a second car
