I avoid the Metrocentre like the plague ;-) but I'll look out for you nonetheless

Looks nice - whats going on with the front wing? I think you need to try and get hold of some early (pre 1980) rear quarter window trims to match youre de-blacked door trims though... I cant be sure but i think you might need the whole seal and remove the window to actually fit them - not that hard though.

Ideal car to fit a 2.3 turbo engine in, being LH injection too....

Steve

I think that these are really good looking alloys - buggers to clean but good all the same

I fitted some to one of my GL saloons and was very pleased with the results. So much so that when I later on fitted some GLT Virgos I found that I didnt quite like them as much and went back to the Scorpius's

Hi steve the previous owner had done a repair to the bottom of the front wing but not painted it, hopefully i will be getting it done soon and i will be treating the car to a full body machine polish to try and revive the paintwork.
