Has the car been converted to round headlamps as the mounts look like the round type which i reccon gave a better light than the original rectangular type.
It's a different shade of blue. The front panel came from another car that I swapped parts for from a banger racer (a very tired '79 244 if I remember correctly). It's something of a 'bitsa' car, as it started life as an 88 GL with a B200e, then got the B230e with a sports exhaust and some nice suspension (for better towing!), then a terrible black paintjob, then an early front end, brown paint and now an Iveco engine (slow progress due to 'life' unfortunately).

Still sat in the garage, minus clutch and flywheel. Make me an offer on any/all of it. It's in my way
