Quick clean of the HT leads and end result......

thats all for now just bought bumpers for smoothing as didnt want to take car off road oh and looking though some of the threads of some
of the great Gtis had to steal one idea just couldnt resist looked too cool and unique (Sorry Trotta) bought a TRS Tow Strap

Wrap the b pillars and a pillar and c pillars otherwise It will look odd I reckon, my thread has my interior in and it's worth a look for ideas on retrimming the headlining etc....

The wheels work well the big ones I like em lol...
