Nice to see another convertable on this site, i think that makes 3 now.
Nice colour, would have choose it if i had'nt found my mint blue one.
Thinking about tinting my windows, Did you do yours or did someone else do it?

A Vectra boot spoiler would finish that off nicely:)

Have you thought about tinting your front indicators? Get some of the body colour and mix it 10% body colour to 90% laquer. This will allow the indicators to blend in but still allow the orange light shine through:cool:

What mesh is that, I'm looking for a decent black mesh but I'm coming up blank at the moment:(

Any spoiler thats designed to fit on a flat surface should fit a convertible. The spoiler in the pic above is for a saloon so if anything there would only be minimal modding to fit it.
