burty Posted July 31, 2020 Author Posted July 31, 2020 Decided on fitting the rears to match the fronts in the end I had my Sr bench retrimmed when I bought it as you couldn't get glanza seats back thenĀ Old Quote
burty Posted July 31, 2020 Author Posted July 31, 2020 And how it is now, I've orded aĀ brand new laguna splitter it's in keeping with the era of the car and just can't get a tte one the only gripe a have with the na is the bumper height hopefully this will sort it also removed the window tints I fitted after 16 years they had gone purple and was letting it down a littleĀ Quote
Pikey009 Posted July 31, 2020 Posted July 31, 2020 Looks lovely mate especially without the tints, were they easy to remove?Ā Ā I love gt seats mate, likeĀ you said tho finding 98ās is a mission!Ā Ā ive got some mint glanza door cards that would go v nicely with those gt seatsĀ Quote
Pikey009 Posted July 31, 2020 Posted July 31, 2020 They are just missing the switch part thatās all Quote

Pikey009 Posted July 31, 2020 Posted July 31, 2020 The SRās are worth the effort mate, wish Iād never sold mine but I know itās in good hands now. Wow thatās a lot of work tho, makes me feel quite lucky how solid mine was. yeah your plastics are lighter but the full plastics are really easy to change over. I bought The door cards and the next day I was offered the 98ās so I never fitted them. Theyāve been in my loft around 5 years. Well, you know where they are if you need a pair.Ā Quote
RWDM47 Posted August 1, 2020 Posted August 1, 2020 This looks nice, may I ask, how is the rear spoiler fitted? I've only got the S which doesn't have one and if I can find a black or turquoise one I'd eventually get one Ā Quote

I do love them though to be honest no matter how rough they are, feel like I want to save every one I see.Ā Ā yeah itās very easy to re-trim the door cards, I donāt think the pattern is too far off though.Ā Quote

burty Posted August 4, 2020 Author Posted August 4, 2020 just a little update while i search for the tte lip ive fitted a laguna splitter it the only modification the exterior will get ive always felt the front end was missing something and the laguna is a safe choice and in keeping with the 90s stylingĀ Quote
Pikey009 Posted August 4, 2020 Posted August 4, 2020 Yeah I donāt mind a leguna, front sits way too high than the rest of the car doesnāt it.Ā Quote
