Are they the original fenders, right ?
Just for curiosity, where did you find those grills ?
Thanks, bye!

Stock fenders- side grills from eBay and decals as well- I really like the look.

Well I mean pinstripes ARE a bit dated! Otherwise a nice car! You guys are giving me a complex with the bloody pinstripes- chill out folks... The camera makes them look worse than they are but I get your point...
I still can't decide whether I like them anymore- with teh side grills they look cool.

166 wheels and M5 mirrors would complete the job. Looks good.
+1 (..you'll give in to the 166s eventually...
)good on you for trying something different -- as you said Tajaro, each to their own

And- the 166's look better everytime I look at them but I wish they made them in 18's because our roads are tough.
Thanks for the input- it's all good and helps me further consider the options-
