It is different color, old bonnet is not worth repairing/painting..new one is coming!
It's nearly built..and then just polish!

Great color! Color+de-handle at rear doors make's the body look really sleek.

do you mind telling me what the pain job cost dude?
Be really interested to know wheather a new lick is out of my budget or not.
And that paintjob has really perked up my interest again.

Looks gorgeous mate done an excellent job on it.
Few questions, maybe in the thread else where but i may have missed it, what is the front splitter from, Mk1 Golf?
Also the vents in the front bumper, can they be retro fitted to a 340's bumper, even if they have no use, they look cool

89 3dr 340DL in Battleship grey with Ultralights and Williams power
Whats the matter with the car i'm driving can't you tell that it's out of style?
