"Planes" was the topbuzz spelling I hasten to add

And yawn, get over it, its well known I had a ****ty bodykitted car 10 years ago. As did thousands of other Nova owners :p

Meh, I had the door apart to fit central locking and paint the door handles red instead of grey; had some paint left over and thought hmmm. Didn't take the handle apart, painted it in situ :tard:
