Apologies it's been awhile, but at last the saga of the hit and run tw*t at the golf club and the ensuing battle with the insurance company is over - my car is back! All in its been off the road for about 2 months and so glad to have her back.
Having convinced the insurance company to replace the old front with a GS front, I acquired GS side sills and 19" rims, bought a new rear bumper and JP kindly donated his old rear boot lid spoiler. The sills, wheels, as well as a GS steering wheel and left hand window regulator all came at a fraction of the cost from a wreck here in the UAE (prior post - and huge thanks to JP for the find!) So, voila, I now have a GS facelift 2002 4200 manual and I think she's beautiful!
Along the way, I've also had fitted FD sport springs, 15mm wheel spacers front and rear, the FD DBW, new rubber gators around the headlamps and wing mirrors, as the old ones were a bit perished (v cheap fix). Unfortunately though, the springs installation wasn't plain sailing, as the garage that did the original install damaged one or both of the rear shocks - so had those replaced too - but now all good and driving amazingly!!
Anyway, I took the opportunity this morning to go and take some new pics...
Kind regards
