Ha, those bits I sold you look great... I am actually really regretting selling those lenses. They do look superb.

REALLY Great work. When you're finished you can crack on with mine.

I've never really been keen on the clear/white indicator lenses idea, but, they do look well neat on your car in that photo. I think they suit the body colour very well. Nice job all round that car.

That is a VERY smart looking 240 you have there Matey

Deffinately got me thinking about a few mods to mine!!

The clear lenses are excellent IMO and when matched to a de-chromed front end it looks great.

That's the thing with these old buses, a few simple, well thought out mods are all that's required to bring them bang up to date.

Good work fella!

Now... Let's see if there's any lenses knocking about on ebay!!

Steve

ps, A Torsy style stripe would be a winner

Ah yes. I'd missed the de chroming. That plus those lenses is neat. Nice work.

I'm more of a keep my volvo shipshape person than a modifier, but I do like to see the cars that some people make so much effort to make look nice. Thanks for the pics.
