the paint technically shud match perfectly but obviously because its an old car the original paint is a little faded, ah well sh!t happens im sure it will even out eventually! oh yeh and i no the lights are loose in their positions and ive only got one light on in my cluster lol. the light clusters havnt worked since i bort the car and it was a struggle to get just that 1 to work! but im making progress!)

thanks for looking,
tom

I' never personally understand why people put this extra grille on the nose? The fact that theres so litlle grille showing is one of the design features.

Still, its your car&each to their own style etc!

for me personally i did it to get cooling air to the intercooler radiator etc, as the car is currently only being used for drag racing and tends to get quite hot!
