Sounds like it may have been a LE. Any pics? If possible it's good to keep the factory screen for the side moulds. I paid for the kms probably. Yeah mines cerulean blue inside too and I found a grey dash mat, suits not too bad thanks anyway. If you want to throw me those rear mudflaps though Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

dont think ill be letting go of the muddys mate, theyre like venetians haha i was lucky enough to get some OEM side moulds for the screen so just makes it that little bit sexier when you start checking things out on it Definately a keeper to me, id never sell it ---------- Post added 03-05-13 at 12:59 ---------- (http://s1344.photobucket.com/user/JonnyYnotre/media/IMG_0088_zpsc20ea521.jpg.html) ---------- Post added 03-05-13 at 13:02 ---------- i need to replace a couple of the mud flaps due to running one over and the other being cracked so ill get around to it sometime only thing ive done is detail the engine bay, dunno if i should of just left it original but i like shiny and clean things ---------- Post added 03-05-13 at 13:09 ---------- (http://s1344.photobucket.com/user/JonnyYnotre/media/IMG_0086_zps95c5b501.jpg.html) (http://s1344.photobucket.com/user/JonnyYnotre/media/IMG_0085_zps95c1d95b.jpg.html) (http://s1344.photobucket.com/user/JonnyYnotre/media/IMG_0087_zps24717df6.jpg.html) Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Polished engine bay looks crap. It either stock and zinc plated or full on hiding wiring and chromed everything with a few painted things

yeah i was umming and arring over the whole shiny bits under bonnet scenario, all the stuff in my other hobby is all polished alloy so i thought meh what the hell why not ill end up pulling most of the bits off and sending them away to get chromed and hiding all the wiring in the upcoming weeks once i get all my electric extras sorted, i dont wana be pulling off gaurds and dashes out then adding in something else and having to do it all over again. Im guessing the alloys and LE bobtail and skirt are dealer fitted items, it has a peice of paper under the carpet which has them listed on there i think off memory so i dunno

Yeah my simple theory is you can't beat factory on some cars. That is a fine battery though, you could power Africa with that. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
