Re: My Additions

I wasnt sure about the mud flaps at first but they do look good now they are on justshould have really had a chrome 500 on them and it would have finished them off.

an the a bar and bonnet strip i feel are a must add for all 500's

Re: My Additions

Liking the additions, if you don't mind me asking was it easy to have the extra chrome added and did it cost any more/less than having the car built with them.

Re: My Additions

The flaps do seem to be making a difference not using the back wash as much as i was doing now lol...

as for the price i got the parts at cost and then it was £160 to have them fitted (felt this was very expensive but what the hell i wanted them lol)

only problem with dealer fit is you have to leave the a bar for 48hrs to dry and 12hrs for the strip so i was without my beloved 500 for a whole 2 days felt lost without her lol...

It would probably have been cheaper to get them factory fitted but iwasnt sure i wanted them until i saw them in the flesh and when i did they were a must have.

Thanks

I think these cars are so emotive that cost considerations are an afterthought and quite rightly so

Re: My Additions

Great to see some more pics of your car... I am getting so used to seeing white ones (but of course i have one too!) - it makes a change!

Yours looks very retro (cute), especially as it is Sport. Job well done
Like it.

Re: My Additions

i know how that feels i was the same when mark put his pics up i was well jealous but now i have my baby and i love her to bits, and you will soon have yours and will feel the same about her/him

just need to decide now if i want a fragrance dispenser or not oh and a boot tidy lol...

Oh and by the way i totaly recommend that ppl but the security kit for the 500 its well worth the £20 you get triangle, torch, reflective jacket and a set of bulbs

Like the mudflaps and the A bar... not sure about the bonnet strip yet. Car is looking good, the white stripe looks very good on the jive blue.
