Well that is just f cking awesome! good to see a young bloke not want to f ck sh!t up with stupid wheels etc, good work on the resto, It's come up a treat,
As for the glove-box pad, It IS factory, I had one in Sandalwood the same a few years ago, Series 1 Calais, matched the door trims and I have seen others in Red & Cerulean Blue.

Thanks buddy, with the tire rods I put both racks together and measured the length of the tire rod ends and also counted the threads to get them the exact length but I still do recommend getting a wheel alignment after installing a rack

Thanks man, all the bronze parts have been painted. The original anodised ones were badly discoloured and faded so I decided re spraying them would be a better option. Ideally I would lover to get them re anodised one day but that's never cheap haha

latest thing on my mind, well has been for ages now but I'm keen on putting back a set of original machined finish calais rims. what do you guys reckon, or do you prefer its current look polished and walls?

Great job mate, can I ask you what you did with the bootlid mould? Paint it yourself or get a pro to do it?

hey man, for the boot moulds yes they were done by a pro, but id you don't want to paint them you can wet rub them smooth and buff them with a plastic polish. works well I've done it before
