And while on topic of modding and blinging up, are those mirrors (covers?) the ones from powerful UK as they’re covering both top and bottom?

They were from eBay a couple of years ago? Just stick over normal mirrors.
Yes my arches are good, no big scratches.
We can sort postage I'm sure 05 V8 HSE Bonatti Grey

I have a small leak on the AC somewhere. Super cold when I picked it up. 8months later it was warm.
Oil change last weekend. Got myself in a right tizz. The height of the oil between hot and cold is alarming quite different. Plus when it so clean its hard to read. Ended up sucking a litre out only to put most of it back in!
Now on Goodyear Duratracs and suprised on how much heat the tyre generates on a run.

Done both sides without the rear doors. Torx screws are rusted completely.
I've left wd40 on them but I'm not hopeful.
Anyone know where to get the screws from which are into the plastic as I have taken my mud flaps off and the screws were shot.05 V8 HSE Bonatti Grey

I think I bought 10 and 12s but would need to measure the length. Dont forget about some A2 stainless steel penny washers to go with them.

Do you know the size of the T20 screws in the rear door. I am going to have to drill the heads off they are not moving.05 V8 HSE Bonatti Grey

I'm sure you need a set of rear lights on this now

I am not going for them, I like my 40% smoked standard lights.
The only option is to buy a red set and then smoke them to see what they look like?05 V8 HSE Bonatti Grey

Liking those painted arches
I would like to put red reflectors in my front lights, is it legal or do they have to be orange at the front?
