Thats absolutly a perfect reply thankyou it explains it all i got confused because the pic on the post headed "brake servo fit query" shows the arrow pointing towards the servo when it should show it pointing towards the manifold like you said so the diagram must be wrong?

I've walked away from a few cars these last few years that have had the wing pipeing painted over. I find it just shows that who ever did the respray doesn't have pride in they're work, or the person commissioning the paint job is trying to hide something possibly. so true i quite like the idea of ...

ok thanks yes looking at it i think your right, i have black beading going on a dove grey car,or is it supposed to be the same colour as the car?

ok everything is looking like dove grey the roof looks original and some bits inside are dove grey also,
so that be it,its got to be dove grey ,ive done the inner wings in stonechip dove grey they look good i think.

what is the easiest way to fit rear wing trims they are just black plastic do i add them after painting the wings and shell or is there a better method,?
tony.
