Hello and  :hi:

Angel eye conversion is easy....though may not be as bright as the OEM, but looks better.  There are a couple of threads about option on the Forum, same for LPG - though that may depend upon which version you have (6 cyl or V8).

Chrome sidesteps?  They should be brushed Ali.  There are a few option depending upon how 'enthusiastic' you want to get, and there's a thread on that too.  Just don't use wire wool!!

Oh and Sanj will be along demanding pics too........ :pokey:
