Looking for something else on the shelf this morning... I came across the brochure that the picture top right of the forum was taken from (I thought it was what this car was, but sounds more like your F plate is the GLE SE that the brochure is from). I'll try and get a copy up if you are interested?

That was easier than planned... not great quality, but it was quick ;)

Yeah that's the one! Actually got a brochure with the car, a £250 buy from eBay in June 2003, 56K from new - it's mainly been stored since then, is it worth a full paint job to mint it do you reckon???

Yeah, there are a few doors across all my 300s :) I'll only be looking to re-skin the ones on the 360 and 343 for now.

cheers

I think as well as the same colour GLT tailgate I may fit the GLT bumpers too, a subtle improvement??

Yes - a very worthwhile upgrade.

The five cars in the line-up are SteveP's old 360 GLT (5dr), Chris' "Kar", MJ's showroom condition 340 saloon, Pettaw's 360 GLEi SE, and my 360 GLE. The picture was taken at a traction/steam rally at the West Somerset Railway during the Taunton weekend meet in 2005.

I'm after a mint set of non-GLT bumpers with the chrome strip in them to replace those on my GLi which are pretty knackered.

You're a fair bit away from me though :shock:
