Very clean. Boot grab rail needs to be white IMO. But otherwise, lovely.

Nice.

Keep the boot grab Grey, but lose the 'ring' sticker IMO. I also prefer white GSi's with a black pinstripe in the bumper, Red & white look cheap together IMtO.

Evening mate, nice to see you still got it, have you had work done on it, as iirc didn't it have a bit of blistering on one of the rear arches, looks nice on the standard 3 spokes.

Hi mate, unfortunately it does still have a bit of blistering on the back arch. Money has been spent on a retro celica that I`m doing a help for heros run across Europe in.

But now its back on the road, I have every intention of getting it done. It hasn't got any worse, but its finding someone who will do a decent job.

full respect due then there mate, and yep I know what you mean, it's difficult to find a sprayer who does work to a standard your happy with..

Looks gorgeous , I need to fit the puller vinyl on my car , sent if for samples twice but they haven't shown up , will try again haha

And if I could get good brakes under 3 spokes I'd swap to std wheels, they look so cool now haha

Custom made 16" replicas anyone lol

Good point on the brakes! I have just realised, my rear discs on my golf are bigger than my fronts on the nova. How times change!

Has anyone got an gear gaiter case? I have just noticed a tiny crack in mine, and ideally would be good to change it now before it gets worse.
