Might sound stupid but has you considered going over the lion and surround with some of that yellow tint? Could look shit.....but could look good.

[samass]

[ash240970]

Get a bonnet badge painted whatever colour you want by Gareth7 and have your boot one done to match - you saw mine at pugfest didn't you?

[samass]

yeah, they loo good, but i really like the way you can still see the silver coming thru the badge, matches it up with the lights that way. cheers tho

[samass]

so, sorted out the routing for the clutch cable that i had to replace as the old (new, grr) one snapped on the way to work on thursday.

turns out itd had been rubbing on the drivers side drive shaft, and also the diff, as the lower engine mount is SO shagged, the engine rocks back and forth that much to rub on it. worn a little bit of the diff away... turns out the 'box IS made of cheese!

anyhoo, no pics of that, but then i did this
