First fitting of new guards. Not screwed at this point, I am still working that out and may leave untill I return ffrom UK rally and have seen a few other cars..

For now I will work on rest of wiring, lights and front bar.

A little extra drama to an already dramatic photo

Word of warning - exercise care! These are from one car, said to be original from factory, and as I found out not all are the same - they are a guide only, but certainly better than nothing and I could not have got by without them.

Thanks, i also overlooked the obviouse , that the number plate has to be allowed for. I don’t like the look on the front but I have little option in Australia.
