Roof was looking haggered & don’t have the budget for paint so black vinyl it is!

I would like to think my daily was an inspiration for the wheel change   hahaha

New thicker chrome window moulds sorted! <3 freebies.

My whitewalls like filthy so they need re-doing & car goes in for a new bonnet & paint VY-Z Calais door moulds.

Electric antenna in! Couldn’t help myself & try out one of my semi-slicks… so keen for a track day.

WK Indicators done!

FYI to all VT/VX owners:

– you’ll need the plug from VY/VZ/WK match the indicators themselves

– the tabs that hold the indicator to the guard won’t go anywhere near holding it in place. Simple fix is double-sided tape or super glue etc

You don’t need an excuse to post pics on your own thread :)  Very nice.

Couple of mini projects, nothing major – but will be fun to learn some new things.

VX SS Wheels I plan to clean up & paint as a back up set of wheels in case I get defected for whitewalls.

VY/VZ indicator/wiper stalks

Fixed a fairly large exhaust leak from the extractors & fitted up some new shiny bonnet struts… got a nasty belt/pulley noise I need to attend to aswell

New console lid!

Photo just because
