Indicators need de-tangoing.
I honestly don't know Alan, I like both looks, but couldn't say which I prefer.

The indicators have orange plastic inserts, its not the bulbs. As far as I know, you cant buy any fully clear ones. I suppose i could cut them open, remove the orange plastic and glue em back together, then some silvertechs.
Prob not for fast show as I'm a little short on time. But I recon I could do that easy when I've got 5 mins. It would be good and all the Ford guys will be asking me where I got em from. lol

Lol, tell 'em you import them from <somewhere> and they're £120 a set, but you can do them for £70 ;]

Could do, but then it wouldn't be special. lol
I could have sold the 3d rear lights 10 times over when I first made them.
I recon I'd get £100 for em now.

Im not sure its about an improvement al, you have changed how the look of the car puts it..
It was awesome and trophy winning a couple of years back, the "Someone" namely magazines decided that look in particular was chavvy and tacky, and it lost out to more simple cars with half the work done...which sucks to be honest!
So now you have updated the look to run with themes and trends but put twice the work in, even though only you and a few others will apprciate how long its took and the little bits you have improved on
Ive no doubt that at fast show it will still pull the crowds and a million people will ask "Did this used to be blue" and then everyone who has a photo of it in blue...now has to take a new one
i prefer new big cab...just looks so much harder, and is of a better quality round the edges and will hopefully run better, and will still attract attention without it shouting for it
WIN.

2 years ago? Excuse me, we came back from Thorsby with another trophy last year. Lol.
Hopefully 2010 will bring a few more.
With regards to the attention, just driving it about last week, we could tell its not lost that apeal. Although maybe they were looking at the back bumper hanging off.
Anyway, we'll soon see next week. That when we'll know if we've done right.

As long as I like it, THAT's all that matters, what does Clare matter. Lol.

White rims black centres FTW!
Apart from that I love the new look.
