i've also fitted the blue led speedo kit, but would like some of the dials i've seen on a few cars on here.

If you mean the aluminium panels that go over the top of the radiator, it's Robin that makes those too. Just send him a PM on the forum as he may have a spare one laying around.

18-08-2018, 11:34 PM #4welcome to ojc, one little mod that improves the front of the car also is to relocate the horns lower so they are behind the bumper and not on show from behind the grille, it looks so much smarter plus there are holes in the crash bar ready to be used for this job only takes a couple of minutes to relocate them

Ref the dials if u PM demon he makes them and has a couple of designs.
Agree with dino drop the horns would look a lot better.
How much did the wrap cost you to do the bonnet if u don't mind me asking looks very good

christopherhughes It's the small brackets that hold the radiator in place.
I don't think I've ever seen proper anodised ones, although a few members, myself included have just taken them off and painted them...

thanks for that, they look great, did you use a heat resistant or specialist paint?
