The sponsor directory is pretty useful and there are loads of suppliers of lights etc....
The dreaded FleaBay may be worth a look or minisport. Worth joining a local club too, mine offers discount from some firms.

Thanks for that, I'm so new to things to do with cars, I just don't know where to start so that's really useful

I'm guessing that mud may have been picked up from a forest car-park somewhere........

Well one reason I didn't have privacy glass this time round was due to the number of complaints I had about 'not being able to see in' !

Seems odd they have Stan Collymore as a juror on that court show ! Did anyone notice he kept checking his watch........probably had to be somewhere !
Classic Dennis Pennis moment when he asks Tom Hanks how did he enjoy playing Forrest last year and did he think they were lacking pace up front after selling Stan Collymore ?!
