Thanks Alex

Not really into the lowering shinannigans, I'm afraid.

Seems like a bit too much hassle for me, as I tend to drive much more sedately than I used to, when I had my SRi's and Ghia i's.

TBH, I wouldn't even know where to start - Oh dear, I feel a lowering project coming on.

Just when I said to myself, "Get a rear spoiler and stop there", along comes another idea.

Cheers Kev

It still needs a bit of a polish, but it is looking pretty good.

I need the stonechips fixing on the bonnet and I will be happy.
