Looking really good mate, nice to see your keeping it as clean as it used to be :)

Looks much better with the orange front indicators on it as well

Is the rear strut brace welded on ?

Na its not its in my room as i write this lol. before it goes back on the road im going to have them both powder coated again along with a few other bits. Yea i like the look of the orange aswell, but i do like the clear but im just trying to get it looking like it came out of the factory. Not to much more to do now.


And thanks all for the comments, glad you like it :D
