Well, it's in the project thread aswell but that doesn't tend to get looked at so i thought i'd post it in here. Gave victor the derv a make over today and the results are very satisfying.

Looks 1000 times better! Lovely lush leather all cuddly interior too with the magic blind.:drool4:

Looks stunning, lovely wheels. The leather looks really good but do be a good boy and hide those horrible rear seat belt buckles under the flaps provided.:D

What a transformation, just confirms my old fashioned thoughts that after market wheels don't suit our cars, be it a ZT or worse still a 75!

Well done that man:}

I agree, when standard OE alloys are available for between £50-200, it makes no sense in my eyes to have aftermarket alloys on.

I was a while before I realised you could do that. Not many manufacturers give the option. I always run around to the rear and do the adjustments after dropping passengers off.;)

I love all the car's I own. They are a labour of love and I hate seeing cars scrapped so I will do my best to keep the ones in my ownership in as good a condition as possible. Thank you for your kind comment. :D

I know, it took me ages:o:o Rover thought of everything, they just forgot to tell us.:D
