also picked up a strutbrace not got any pics yet.. although ive probably bored you all already :)

bit of a bargain me thinks! Picked her up for £320 the guy also chucked in brand new discs and pads all round!! had little MOT and Tax but shot through with only needing tiny bit of brake pipe and a tyre as one had a small split

Current mods are...
de-chromed grille,
wood kit,
custom mirror indicators,
custom side-running lights,
omp strutbrace,
17" Volvo Alloys,
10w rear sidelights,
uprgraded headlights 100/80w,
silvatech chrome indicator bulbs

future mods..
spoiler,
lowered,
leather
tints

Think thats about it! :)

Thanks for looking

Looks good, i like the LED side lights, have you thought about getting the smoked side like reflectors? Could look even better then.
