Item number: 220438632266 Above is another replica body kit for sale on eBay. Please remember, the genuine bodykits are in only 4 parts, with the nearside rear also going all across the back of the car. I don't know any replicas made that are not 6 or 7 parts.

First outing of the season. Even though I say it myself she looks good after being outside all Winter. Must admit, the camera ignores all the small blemishes, like bubbly door skin!
