Interesting the new one has chrome window surrounds, is it a redline or SE? It looks like an F plate, which ties in with redline, but the chrome trims I thought stopped on an E plate. The sunstrip works nicely!

Early F? Looks like a GL to me with a redline bumper :) Mk2 GLT wheels are great :D

I like them both too! But I'd swap the bumpers and the grilles over, so you've got one matt black sporty car and one chrome er ...
... chromey car?

+1 on the Mk2 GLT alloys ...

I aslo like them both but if I had to choose only 1 it would be the new one. It does stand out a little bit more :D

Got the sunstrip made up from a shop near me, it is a one - off. Can be made up again however as they now have the logo on their system since doing mine if anyone is interested.. He does all shapes and sizes and various designs.

The car is an F reg and is a GLE with all the extras apart from the electric mirrors. The other one is GL which was converted from an auto to a manual and has all my little extras on it (more pics to follow). Did get the Redline on the bumper of a redline, got the Redline interior in it as well.

Tempted to put the 440 wheels on it from the GLS

I reckon the 400 series wheels from the GLS would look good :)

Hmmm I really don't know what to do about the wheels on the new one, mk2's or 440's??!!!

Redline on the bumper matches the sunstrip, like the GLS grill on the GL goes with the chrome wiper spoilers.

Sunstrip is about £15 plain and £25 with whatever you want on it. Cheaper with a group buy..

Will act as the agent on this one as the guy is a mate of mine.

Pm me if any interest..

Thanks

Put the mk2's on your GLS, and 400's on the new, both would then look awesome!
