Ooh I didn't realise they were the 14" Mx5 wheels at the time, they look good repainted and without centre caps. Probably a weak offset though

I'd like to vouch for the condition of Ben's car. Having been all over it, I can say it's probably the cleanest I've seen. Can't believe how tight it feels, like a new car really. The only other one I've seen that was on a par with this was some A plate 360GLS at a show in Hartlepool. The owner of that claimed he was a multiple BKV winner.
I am a jealous boy.

I'm willing to bet that was Ted Brown....light blue 3dr? He's my predecessor as 300 series register keeper for the VOC.

Not this car, then? (pics liable to disappear at any moment....hosting has been cancelled)
...it's very, very light blue...almost silver. Certainly not the same colour as my GLT. I can't think of another A-plate GLS which has won lots of BKV prizes in recent years...
cheers

Ted's GLS is very nice... shame he took the Hella off it, was perfect then

I know its not really 'a project' in V3M terms as no mechanics have been altered, but theres a few parts going on, so im doing at update. In case anyones interested. Which of course you are not.
New (old) Wheels are finally on.
15 Wolfraces (two on rotationals) to fill out the nasty arch gap from the 2 in drop.
Held on by new Scooby Chrome nuts- (thank you all so much for the advice on these!)
