Do you think the lights would be interchangeable with those from a later car? I don't mind the boot spoiler, and I quite like the black stripes (it looks like quite a professional job that cost someone quite dear), the roof spoiler had to go though - I pulled it off the other day, it has left some very stubborn adhesive patches that need cleaning up - I've tried a few solvents without success, maybe acetone might work? It much have been on the car some time as the paint elsewhere has faded, so I may have to T-cut the whole roof when we get some better weather. I think the bonnet badge will probably disappear, the rear mudflaps have already been changed back to the originals that came with the car, they are perfectly serviceable, look smart and don't scrape on the ground when I reverse. The car looks much better from the back without the daft roof spoiler thing and with the standard mudflaps: See my last post above re the extra lights. I think I'll just keep the inner ones and wire them up properly with the original looking fog lamp switch. Thank you for your kind comments about the Royal Barge, I really like the car, it drives well and I enjoy putting right all its little foibles (of which there are quite a few, but nothing serious or costly to put right). I think the Royal Barge is a really nice classic car for a couple of grand. ... now, it really is time to walk Bob :-) Best wishes, Alan Last edited by Othen; Feb 9th, 2020 at 13:36.
