Hi fellas and I thought it wise to start a new profile or I'll end up cluttering the 'General Chat' with my various musings. So here she is and I'll be posting background photos and updates on her works-in-progress as and when I can get them done. I bought her last September and have had a few things done already:
Engine oil change, oil filter, air filter, spark plugs, gearbox fluid change, new set of tyres (Falken Ziex 205/55R15), new wiper blades front / rear, new rear number plate and a new battery.

Just a few shots of the interior including the rather nifty air refiner and the treasured seatbelt offer-upper thing. Note the hefty steering wheel lock in the passenger's footwell which is installed every evening when it's parked up. The area I live in is fairly well-to-do (granted, Knightsbridge, it ain't) but you can't be too careful these days...

And here's some goodies slated to be added to late next week by a team of guys I've found here in Halifax that I can trust. Can't wait to get them fitted. I bought the kick plates from Dennis in the Netherlands ages ago.

And I treated myself to some new headlight bulbs from Halfords as well. If it's fine outside tomorrow, I'll be cleaning the headlights themselves as they're looking a bit grotty.

Here's a few more photos of her looking almost sparkly in this afternoon's sad attempt at sunshine over Halifax. The eagle-eyed among you will notice the right hand side of the temperature gauge shows bright red intermittently. It's on the list of to-dos.

A quick question regarding the front fog light lenses. As I dislike the yellow colour, does anyone have a pair of transparent lenses I can buy off them please?

Lovely clean motor, being well cherished. What make is your tail pipes they really suit the rear, just like original design

Thanks, buddy. To be honest I don't know what brand of tail pipes they are. I'll have a look in daylight tomorrow and see if I can find out for you.
