    Its amazing the the detail that has gone into this, nice under the bonnet especially.

    I can't get why you guys don't use mudflaps if even just to protect your lovely paint, it seems to be that mudflaps are less popular over your side of the water.

    You need the headlights/flashers in as well Martin to see how they line up With the new parts also. If their as good as the rest then I'd send it for paint and fettle the final fit afterwards. Looks pretty good as far as a nova goes though!

    When I was struggling with the same issues on the red one I had to use genuine flashers/ headlights as well as body panels to cure the problem. Alignment will come through patience as it's more a case of press/pull/ bend into position and nip up until your happy throughout. I have seen washers used underneath the headlights to raise them and flashers shaved around the edges also to suit but its not ideal. Go genuine throughout and even if its has had a tidy slam panel job in the past you should be somewere near. I will check the loft for you as I may have a spare mk2 headlight which you would be welcome to.

    Yea if you can have a look for headlight that would be much appreciated.
    I did add some washers to pull the drivers wing out slightly

    What are 'Valeo' headlights? genuine or non, any idea?

    Valeo are genuine and can still be bought new if you contact them or an approved supplier

    Hard to think a car this good can just get better and better as the years go on.

    I am sorry, i told you the wrong way for the bumper bar.

    The lining up looks better.
    All I wanted was a Pepsi, just one Pepsi
    Far from suicidal
    Still I get them tendencies
    Bringing back them memories
    That I really miss when I reminisce
