Blimey that's quite impressive. Looks like it had some good paintwork to start with, looks flawless!

Swiss - Previous owner was a lady in her 50's who had owned it for 7 years and over time she had a couple of mior grazes and the hubby (mechanic with his own garage) had the bumpers repainted at some point.

Regardless.. the rest of the orginal paintwork is still very good. :thumleft:

Aye cos the last time you saw it .. it hadn't been washed in weeks and it still had the ugly front original amber corner lights and looked like this.

After i had washed it. But not waxed it...

I'm continually amazed at how much a set of £30 clear corners does to modernise the look of a Mk2 NA. :)

Well... the rims are now sorted and are on the car. Still not had chance to try the Harly wax but thought id show the car with the new alloys on. Makes so much of a difference! :)

After doing some investigating i have found out that these are in fact TE37's but the old version before the lastest design came in. The sticker inside says they were made in 1997!

Granted its sat a bit higher now but i dont mind it looking like a monster truck. :mrgreen:

cheers bud. I cant believe I've had them in the garage for over a year waiting to repair the cracked one! Should have done it zoo much sooner. Really loving the rims as they changed the whole look of the car.

Also with them being very rare it makes it more special! :)
