you can also get LED indicator bulbs. contemplating an all round LED replacement myself, yet to ...

So while he's got the spray in the gun, i've asked him to colour code all the plastics :)
should give the car a nice fresh appearance and ...

anyways..
Current plans for the car include minimal ...
