Chin spoiler! It's such a perfect fit. You did not have to modify it at all, right? Incredibly clean car, wish mine was in such shape. As you guys have all square bumpers, have you considered changing your head lights for the US square ones?

As you guys have all square bumpers, have you considered changing your head lights for the US square ones? Hi mate, it was looking at yours that made up my mind. We have the square bumpers on the later 810 models and still have the rounded bumpers on the early 810 like yours. I much prefer the round headlights than the square ones.

Ricky - well done mate looks awesome one of the best 810 wagons if not the best...I guess you got the other best one Thanks mate, lol, I just go mad over the 810 I just need to start spending some time and effort on my blue saloon 810 (DJT). I'm very lucky as I remember when Will showed me (DJT) I was the happiest man and still am and had not seen a 810 in many years and owning four just makes me think (how the hell did that happen) lol. . Thanks all for the nice comments this wagons going into hibernation now for the winter.

Well done Ricky it all looks really really well. Did you paint the panels using rattle /spray /aerosol cans? Maybe you can write up a "Ricky's guide to paintwork"? I could really benefit from your tips & techniques as I am sure could others. Ed Thanks Ed, spraying the car was done by an air gun from a compressor, it's an nice finish but way to many man hours involved.

Hi all thanks for all the nice comments. I've just seen some of them lol. Al these are are the wheels I purchased of you originally for DJT. The car was sprayed the day before the RR gathering at one by spray gun, it took a lot of time mixing paint to get the right colour, this s a vw colour. Wagons I was never fond of so I don't look at the back of this one or OGF but after lowering this one and the retro wheels it looked good. Thanks again I've posted a picture below with the wheels on DJT a salon 810 which is my pride and joy but fast asleep. But would look much better slightly lowered
