My Clipper.

I think the all white ones look different and I liek different…

your clipper kit will be all white too, so may be overkill.. wondering, was the original hood white too…

all you'd need then would be a good set of whitewall tyres and you'd be set..


Sorry, not much help tho. looking good tho mate, now comes the fun bit

As far as I know the hood has always been in black.

Can't believe that searched the web for a photo of one with a white grille so I could get an idea what it would look like 8O

Will be having the black roof on mine.

Yes I've only just got the gaskets in the post from America so I couldn't fit the rest of the body kit.

As the gaskets are black they leave a black pin stripe between the body and the kit so I've decided to get some of the black stone guards to match with it all.

Only problem is that I've now got to wait for them to arrive from America now :cry:

They will be exactly the same as yours I guess but with it being black and white its going to show up a bit.

The old ones were white plastic so they blended in with the body work sadly I could only get  them in black now.

What about your car colour and gaskets.

An American seller on Ebay called moogie2498.

The quality is good but it took a couple of weeks to arrive the downside is they only come in black.
