Hi Kandyman,

looks much more modern now!
How expensive was this facelift?

Cheers, Tom

Hi Tom,

The V8 bumper is hard to find and the black mesh parts you can still get new from Rimmers but the chrome front grill is really really hard to find and there are about 10 members in the UK always on the look out for one.

The one i got was the only one is only the 2nd one i have seen for sale in the past 3 years.

The total cost with lights and painting would of cost me about £700 :(
