I'll obviously never achieve the original finish on the wheels (especially on my budget), but hopefully you can see why I'm keen on the silver

Have managed to tick a few things off the list.
Rear lights have now been replaced as is the driver's door card. Thanks to a couple of lovely chaps off the Facebook group
Had arranged to get the wheels refurbed but then realised one of the rears is cracked right next to a previous weld. Haven't been able to find a spare one anywhere, so ended up sourcing a different set. Sorted the random mishmash of standard and runflat tyres, so now we're running Eagle F1 Asymmetric 5s on all 4 corners.
Brake calipers and front brace painted and happy with the results. Will hopefully look into sorting the seats in a fortnight's time.
Had a right hoot in the wet this morning! More pics as promised..

That's a shame about your wheels but the new ones look great. And it must drive much better on a new set of matching tyres!
Coupes because stunning!

Thanks. I do love the deep dish. They could do with a refurb. Something to save up towards
