now the snows and ice is gone i decided to put it on the minilites
also have sorted the bottom of the front wings up as they had been pulled away from the body.
also removed all the rivets that were in the sills from when the previous owner removed the skirts and then undersealed the full sill so it looks a lot tidier now 8)

Really it's looking good from when you first had her, it's really nice to see this on the forum, before and after pics.

i still have the normal rear lights but i like the tinted ones because it makes the back end look smoother.
although they wont pass the mot with the new restricltions.

also forgot to say i have another passanger mirror on the way because the glass in mine has fell out and couldnt be put back in properly.so i got a full mirror
hopefully the new one will work on the electrics :lol:
