Hurrah, proper sized wheels - that looks pretty good too - well suited to the retroness... Saw them lights on ebay - do they limit the light output?
EDIT: How can your car be so clean

Mate your car is looking good!!!! Just one thing though why didn't you tint the old lights to keep it ' Original'??
Also get a rev counter and ambient temp gauge (I have both)
How did you get the headrest covers so clean?
Regards
Jay

Cheers steve.
It just is.
Its impossible to explain.
I think its possibly stuck in some sort of time rift so the rust gets less and less the more you stare at it.
Big Cheers to Filthy and Filthy Jr G. for doing all the actual work.
Fine pairs of hands ,the Clan Filth, and all obstacles were overcome.
Who sain mk3 rear lights and a mk3 hella wouldnt fit and work!?
Just needed tickling in there, thats all.
And soz it was so cold out there boys.
I did ask for unseasonably warm weather, but gods been far from happy with me since I p!ssed on that church.................
So we got piercing icy wind.

I'll take both if theyre spare Jay.
The headrests were hard work man, but its about the only bit ive done meself, so I put like 5000% effort in.
Go team!
I didnt tint the origs because i dunno how man.
They lose a bit of 'light' for want of a better word, but theyre still well bright, and nowhere near illegal.
And neither are the plates, in case anyones wondering.

Think thats pretty much it now. Finished.
Dont think I'll bother with a rear spoiler. Digging the clean rear end look.
Unless a snowcap comes up.
Or OapEm works out how to bodge a rear louvre on.

That looks awesome, I love those wheels. A mate just bought what I think are the same ones for his astra, and I was going to steal them to offer up...
Nice one dude, those rear lights look nothing like as bad as they did in the listing on your colour!

Black wheels, black bumpers, black grille, dark plain paint, black back lights................ though it might all hang together well enough.
Really pleased with the outcome.

Doesn't she look nice? Top stuff, all the mods have come out really well I think, even the back lights look good. This is shaping up to be one of the very nicest 300s of all IMO.
