Glad to see u got sorted, read ur thread about the rebuilds!!

Nice car u got there, personally i would just remove the driver and passenger front tints as I think scoobs need the back three windows tinted a bit to look the part, and it also darkens the rest of the car nicely!!

Good luck with the car

I'm really pleased for you, very very nice.. Glad its all sorted though.. Go on, get yourself some gauges on the group buy, you know you want to really. Explain to your wife how needed they are, she'll totally understand, especially at the minute if she's worried about a repeat performance, use the moment ?

take it back and start again, then look for another if you still want one

plenty around and you will find exactly what you're after, some cars are just cursed though...........
