Sorry about the 2 posts here but I am trying to get used to putting photos on a forum using photobucket - I think I have got it sorted now.

Anyway I am new to the forum and just thought I would post a few pics of my car which some of you may have seen at the National.
Its my pride and joy!!!!

Very nice! Some of those photo's look almost like they were taken abroad. That has to be one of the cleanest Vitesse in red that i have seen.

My doppelganger red TP is put to shame by yours Stephen!

Are those new tail lights by the way - the reverse and fog light
reflectors look very good.

Side rubbing strips look excellent too - have you refurbished these?

Rear headrests too - someone has been busy with a hacksaw and
benchvice!

the rubbing strips are standard fitment but the chrome on them has been replaced. Looks better on the passenger side than on the drivers which I will probably redo soon. The light clusters made a big difference to the back end and were a wise investment. I have also just had the wood refurbished which made a big improvement to the interior.The headlining is the last piece of the jigsaw for this year and that is getting refitted next week all things going well. Another refurbishing top improvement are getting the wheels redone they make a hell of a difference.
