Hopeless Cosmetics
Why do Disco owners spend huge amounts of money trying to tart up their vehicles with new grills, fairy lights, detangos etc etc.?
At the end of the day, a pig with lipstick is still a pig.

I can honestly say my D3 & D4 are completely bling free zones. All mods have a practical purpose and a reasoning, even if I've forgotten said reasoning. And any shine is hidden under a lair of grime. So also an OCD free zone.
Original concept of a classic vehicle is a classic vehicle
using function as the benchmark all the rest is style which is the "flavour of the month" cosmetics
Grilles, trim, lights etc don't affect the Load Carrying, comfort or towing ability of the vehicle - which also doesn't alter from base commercial or S version right up to HSE's
everybody to their own though....if adding things floats their boat OKBREXIT - done properly.
Right now ...We need Government - not Politics
Save the Dipstick Flagbearer-keep it simple, less likely to fail campaign-agenda items:Starting Handles, Acetylene Lamps.
Founder: Dipsticks-R-Us Inc
D3 HSE-perfectly formed, passenger friendly...has real DIPSTICK
Jag XK-but sadly no DIPSTICK...HUGE design fault
FL2 has DIPSTICK..."real comfort in rear seats"
VW Golf wondermobile (?)..has real DIPSTICK
Morris Minor..original DIPSTICK technology..and a real KEY.
