Indeed Mick! I've still got to sort that little mess out when I get half a chance! Still looks good and is readable, depsite the backing still being partly stuck on. The joys of having no time and attempting to put the sticker on on the morning of the meet and driving there with the backing on to let it dry enough to remove. :lol:

You pimp that car too much :P It does look very nice though. You really could do with some 400 series alloys though ;) It would set if off a treat :)

:o no rear wiper? Atleast you wont have the problem Tom has with destroying V3M sickers ;)

I am keeping an eye out for some 400 rims...
The ones Foggy has are nice and those 6 spoke ones you also find on 850's are even better. (340GLT got those too)

i believe they are the only 15" alloys commonly available, although i may be wrong.

if you do change the wheels, please please please send me your old centre caps :P

If I change to other rims in the future I will keep these old GLT rims... they are too rare to sell. :mrgreen:
And If I sell them I will sell them with the caps... sorry :roll:

LOL no, not an original high level braking light but I do have one installed.

The leather interior was already installed in the car before I bought it.
I believe it is a hatchback interior because the rear seat can fold forwards to enlarge the boot space.

It'll be a bit of a mix of a hatch rear bench and head restraints from a saloon, hatchback 300s never came with rear head restraints.

Could be... the headrests are fitted pretty neat and tight...
When I need to fold over the bench they come off easy.
So they did a good jobfitting them...
