Nice, does look better with the proper ones, but the LT ones aren't so bad if it's possible to pull the bottoms in a bit.

on the LT version i had the mirror glasses the wrong way round, sticky out, instead of sticky in,
but i was naive back then.

The groove on the mirror head that the arm sits into isn't central so you can mount them 2 ways, sticky in or sticky out.

Ignoring the dog, you can see the mounts quite clearly

Just wondering if your suspension has been raised?

Looks like a fair amount of space from top of tyre ( guessing 15" rims) and underside of wheel arch.

Yup standard lift kit from Syncro services running on standard springs. So long ago but I think they are 20mm spacers and the rims are 15" but the tyres are 225/70 not the usual 215/75

Got to say it looks just right, really good balance of lift and proportions. Top effort.

Thanks! I think its the wheels that do it. This doesn't look quite as good IMHO

Looks fantastic, but not sure if the roof is an improvement over a pop/high top....
