She's a nice looking cav m8 and agreed that's much better with out the rear panel.
The old owner must have been hit up the arse a lot and put that on the cav to stop that one from getting a whack too.

thanks, its completly original, I bought the rear panel for the retro look but prefer the car without it.

Busy morning fitted my Calibra DTM wheels to the SRi

Then aligned the Stainless Magnex full system up a bit better

More silicon hoses, only three left to do now, these will be done when the car is re waxoyled in a few weeks

Must admit this car really shifts now.

Its not cheap, have been buying them over 12 months, 3 sets of hoses, 1 set every 4 months.

Just wanted to make it look as good as I can
