Not sure about the headlamp panels - there is something welded on there but I can't see from the diagrams.
Not wings - it's been done, just the indicator repeaters are in a different place.

What about that woman somewhere in Englishshire who sold her husbands brand new Volvo convertible for 50p because she suspected him of cheating?!

I'd hate to think what she'd have done if she
knew he'd been cheating

Years ago I kinda knew (friend of a friend of a friend etc) a guy who responded to an advert in the local rag
...."Car for sale, £20.00"
Thinking it was worth a looky, upon his arrival the seller-lady opened the garage door to a tidy Porsche 911 and, yes, you've guessed it......

Hell hath no fury an' all that. It's enough to make a guy want a baseball bat handy, just in case the little woman turns into something from 28 Days Later...

This thread is making me glad I happen to be single at the moment and the only person who can (heaven forbid) scratch my baby is me.
