Actually, just the man Barrie, would you mind measuring the diameter of your wheel badges when you get a chance?

 

I just paid £15 for the badges but I got the imagine you were asking about the wheel refurb!  ;)

Cracking wheels Lyndon that are going to look great once back on the car. Did you decide what colour to paint the car after the deliberating you were doing?

£400 all in

 

still unsure on the colour,,, everytime I see a pic of Hopos bronze esprit I drool,, :unworthy:  but I cant justify a full interior retrim

 

white was its original colour, and works with the red interior (was originaly brown)

 

keeping it blue is  the easiest option, but I just cant decide,, think I will be flipping a coin lol :help:

Whatever way you how Lyndon think long and hard as it's got to be right for you.........an expensive procedure to have to do twice. best if luck with the deciding!

Will measure in the morning and let you know. 

 

£400 sounds like a bargain to me

sorry for the delay in adding the pics,,, as for the colour,, I am more than likely to go back to White,, as that's the colour it left the factory, and the red interior will go with it ;-),,,,, tho the other idea is an homage to the Essex,, by putting a chrome stripe in the gap of the two red stipes,,, not as bold as an Essex,, but an option
