What a Bobby dazzler!
I was wondering how the pointy front bumper would look on a flat nose. Hardly notice it.
Where's the extra lamps gone to?

Not in the wet you wont

(Besides it's a bit quicker than 7.8 if you can get traction

- 7.2 is the book figure)

The car's looking great, Mark
From what car did the bumpers come from? I was always under the impression that MY81 (the last model year with the old nose) and MY82 - 85 bumpers were different ... Can't remember who told me that, Foggy maybe?
Cheers
Tom

From my glance at the old ones, the MY81 wraparounds are flatter across the front. MY82-MY85 ones are a little pointy on the front edge in the middle, but nothing too serious. Across the back edge against the body they appear the same.
