Your car is absolutely gorgeous mate, Laquer Red is always a cracking colour. Will always have a soft spot for Lasers as my first Capri was a Black Laser and youll never forget your first Capri :)

So after running these new headlights for 2 weeks and getting them adjusted right I recon they are easily as good as modern car lights. Much better than the candles I had before. Highly recommend.

Hi,
Lovely car, a real credit to you. 8-)
Lacquer red seems to really suit the lines of the Capri.

Fantastic Capri fella. Lovely.

Looks real good without the side trim mouldings. Did you do that yourself or was is like that already ? Thought of doing that myself but filling in holes and getting it sprayed up bit of a job but it does really show of the lines so well.

And I absolutely love the colour...well I would say that, have you checked out my capri on this section too...

Yeah I did it. Tho it was lack of rubbers that forced it. Wish I hadn't had the laser stripes either but hey ho.

Hi,

Still think it looks really good as it is fella.

Bet it would be a nightmare though to try to remove the stripes without messing up the paintwork.

:agree: when I have the bodywork done again I will loose the stripes and holes. Until then I will leave it.
