looks good. Just need those crappy headlights changed now Thumbs Up!

Thats next on the list Smiley. I remember a while ago when i had a black Irmchser Saloon Elite, i bought on ebay, a set of black backed headlights with the clear lenses. Downside was there was no headlight adjust, all had to be done manually under the bonnet. Also came with projectors as well so no need to go down the HID route, just a decent set of hi output bulbs (i swear by the ones i replaced for the crappy ones i had on my 300zx, piaa. Rather expensive but worth every penny)

Erm, nope lol. Used that before and i have since decided i have not got the patience lol. I robbed them from Tezrays mv6 and simply swapped them over Smiley Really easy job if you remember the release bar for centre trim  Grin
Just noticed you live in Hull, i used to live there before we moved back to Bristol. First in a block of maisonettes in Bransholme iirc (Westray house, HU7 5AP and that was at least 30 yrs ago lol) and then to North Bransholme, Greygarth close, just off the Wawne Rd iirc Smiley

to find a motor of that age & in such good condition with hardly excessive miles is a bonus. look after it. Wink

Oh believe me, she will be tidied up where she needs it, few asthetic things to change/update/renew but apart from that, keep her the way she has been kept since 1998 Smiley

The Irmsher one is the standard Elite one but im led to believe mine might have been fitted after as it seems to be newer. There is a pic of the Catera grille on the first page but although others like it, i much prefer the ka.mei one
