The Exterior

The first change was to fit a plastic GRILL with a series of white circles. Then, I fitted KNIGHT RIDER LIGHTS (my childhood dream), which are controlled from inside by an illuminated switch. (At times, I need to switch them off, as I have been stopped once by a Police Officer. He said that it was 'illegal' to fit extra lights in the front other than in white/yellow colour. The same day, I went to the library to confirm this in the book of Legislation. But there was no such law at all. Anyway, I like to be a bit careful, and switch these lights off whenever there is a Police car around.)

The next accessory to come on board was a pair of extra HEAD LAMPS. Keeping in line with the general shape of the car and other fittings, I chose rectangle lamps, as I thought that round ones would look a bit odd.

The BUMPERS were painted white. I used a general purpose primer followed by two coats of gloss. So far, it is holding on OK. But as these bumpers were made before the first proper face-lift, I might change them for slightly bigger and curvier ones.
