also got a dash clock, but i didnt like the fact that it had circular points on the face, i thought it didnt look right against the digi dash

so took it apart, removed the plastic face and fitted a clear piece made from a dorito's dip lid lol, also painted the needles silver

going for her mot tomorrow, fingers crossed she passes :thumb:

lovely car mate, you should be very proud!

that panel across the boot latch, is that from a van????? as i would like to find one

wheels look good to

ive seen them on some vans but more 5dr mk2 hatches than nayhting, very very hard to come by one, and then it may have cracks snaps etc

i swapped it for a sr grille and sr spoiler both off mk1, so you can tell their rare lol
