djim Posted May 14, 2018 Share Posted May 14, 2018 This is me. Been like this since i got rear ended in December and I fixed it with junkyard parts. Original plan was to get it painted and replace the cracked rear lights but the combined cost would be more than the car is worth so now I just ignore it which works fine for me.

Junkman Posted May 15, 2018 Share Posted May 15, 2018 Ill try! Would you get some better pics in good light before the paint gets done man? Bet it looks mega in the sun. It really doesn't.

Jim Bell Posted May 15, 2018 Author Share Posted May 15, 2018 You need a barrier colour to seperate the silver and green really. A pair of wings in red or white would really help I think.

Talbot Posted May 15, 2018 Share Posted May 15, 2018 That ovloV looks just fine with the off-colour boot, but what the merry hell is that oversized B10M badge doing on there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quicksilver Posted May 15, 2018 Share Posted May 15, 2018 I'd love to think that somewhere out there to restore the balance of the universe is a negative Council Estate, a blue Volvo with a gold tailgate. The 405 estate looks good with the chin spoiler, Junkman should disregard his own advice and Do Paint and then it would look rather spiffing like some sort of fancy special edition.

SiC Posted May 15, 2018 Share Posted May 15, 2018 Going to miss this little trooper too when it goes to its new home. This is one of my favourite pictures of it post-welding. Thats the first picture I showed people at work when they jokingly ask if I've bought anymore cars yet. Incidentally that question started as a joke. However my answer of "Yes!" is becoming alarmingly more common. vulgalour 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had a bag of about 15 of those badges and they landed more or less as we disposed of our last manual B10Ms so they were never fitted.

spike60 Posted May 27, 2018 Share Posted May 27, 2018 No pics I'm afraid but I'd owned the Porsche 944 some months before I noticed half the panels were metallic black and half flat black.

MorrisItalSLX Posted May 28, 2018 Share Posted May 28, 2018 I do have a spare maroon XJ wing in my garage... But I don't want to chip the original cobalt blue paint off the virgin bolts that have never* been removed before! *I have no evidence to support this.

AndyW201 Posted May 28, 2018 Share Posted May 28, 2018 My previous 190, in its temporary post accident panels. Granted theres not a lot of difference between the bornite wing and the rest of the car...
