hahaha cheers bud :) yeah got a few plans....lowering, tidy up and more than likely a fresh coat of colour (being a perfectionist about your car is costly sometimes)

noooooooo!!! I repainted it 2 days after I bought the car, someone had scratched the paint off the centre bar and made it look like crap!! I actually prefer it black to be honest :) will go nicely with a set of series II black headlights

the chrome gille must look better against the tungsten paint work then as it looked like arse when it was black. ;)

if someone didn't try to strip it with a screwdriver scratching the f**k out of the chrome underneath I might have tried it....but considering how badly scratched it was I HAD to paint it, not a fan of anything scratched on my cars!! :) on a lighter colour it would look better for sure but I think it blends in well with the dark colour of the car
