I got my white lenses from www.bcb.no , it was a package set with all the lenses including the side lenses. Indicator bulbs are of the chromed type - looks cleaner..

Default Some of my 240 Auto from 2004

A couple of pics of my 240 Auto taken on a towed caravan holiday in Benllech, Anglesey in 2004 a few months after I bought the car.
Towed that 16' body caravan without a problem.
Not our caravan BTW.

Great site too that for any caravaners here.

We still use the car today but unfortunately it lost one of those transparent front window wind deflectors a couple of years ago and I removed the other one for safe keeping and it has a full set of hubcaps now.
I'd recently replaced the headlamps on these pics hence good reflectors.
The reflectors are showing some browning now though but still form good image ( failed my first MOT in 2004 on headlamps - no image ).

in the picture of the engine bay i noticed two bars from the top of the suspension to the bulkhead. there is a pair on e-bay and i wanted to know if they make any difference to the handeling. if they do i may consider buying them

They make for a more rigid front end, noticeable change in both handling and steering response.
Fitted stock on the turbomodels.
