tbh ,the grille is almost the same as Adams (340glt) the fogs are bolted to two holes that are in the bumper mounting "horns"! it means I didnt have to drill the front valance but I did have to grind off the towing eye and lose the two little black plastic inserts , the grills on the lights go nicely with the vented bumper bolt covers dont you think

Indeed, those grilles do match well. Just hope you don't need towing then now your towing eye is ground off!

Wow that's shiny. Very nice. :P Mine is faded and it would need to be repainted. At least the bumpers and skirts.. I don't have money for that though.

Thanks!

True, it's really shiny, bumpers included... (I often see faded bumpers!) But it hasn't really polished yet, I have to find a machine to do that, after that it will be REALLY shiny :P

Mick, those stripes look GREAT!
I bet the snowcap will really be the "iceing on the cake"!

Aymat, your GLT looks fantastic, I really like red on a GLT.

Right, thats good, everyone get the pink DeKay bashing out the way.. lets forget about it... all done???

Good.

Guess which colour GLT I'm picking up on Sat, I'm very touchy about my feminine side :( Give me a week and some magic T-Cut/Whatever won the argument stuff and it'll be OK.

I'll get some piccy's up of the interior of Kar that's happened in the last month or so, and the GLT soon as I can!

Nope, we had to pay FL 550,- (€250,-) for it back then.
Quite a lot considering a whole 360 costed €13.000,- in those days.
