Very Nice Car,

Just a suggestion, I would fit facelift colour coded door moulding and replace the black one's it would change the whole look of the car :y

That's a lovely looking Elite and I like the facelift wheels on it too. I'm sure you've got the door trims planned and I look forward to seeing it when you've done those too because as you've noticed by the posts above, it is a noticable area for the next step in improvements.

Very nice car and you're doing a grand job with it, keep it up :y

Yes -- I can definitely see the wisdom in colour coding the trim. Many thanks to those who posted the befores and afters  :y

Looking very sweet guys! like all the befores and afters. I have a 96 that needs urgent attention! I love the facelift alloys. Anybody got and guide on a rough price to convert?? If you dont mind.....

I cannot stand the 96 elite alloys... They make me heave enerytime I look down at them! My old man loves them, so he will be having them shortly!
