Thanks, it is a homage to another classic ( not hillman), will be clearer once all bits and bobs on

Very 'Lotus Cortina'. Looks fantastic.

Those side stripes looks great, but I think the arches detract from them too much - they might be better body colour?  Would be more of a homage to the Lotus Cortinas etc then too.

Wheels look brilliant.

Loving the look of those stripes, its nice to see someone doing something different, what a cracking looking car!

Thank you , I’m different alright !!!!

My clubby estate has the stickers rather than the panels so I can't compare my own, but it looks like you've got the stripes on the back doors upside down. Shouldn't they taper in at the top to match the door?
