Thanks guys for the compliments. 
Yes, does fast sevens just with standard sized Z3 tyres. Must say I'm impressed with them as they've sat outside and not cleaned for months and yet the rim still shines up spot on!
Certainly turns heads. I've had it at quite a few shows now and it always gathers a crowd. Very usable car of xkurse. Use it all year round.

Hi Paul, yip, still driving away at it.
Had to check there as it's a long time since I bought them. Pretty sure they all came from SVC.

Those flat style Lucas lights are very cool indeed. I’m going cheap as chips land rover lights. I like the more ‘bulbous’ nature of them.
No chrome surrounds though...

Hi DaveP
I have brought the full set of Landrover lights. These are ok on the Kobra are they? I was thinking they were only for the MX250. I've been a bit put off using them because of no chrome but if they are ok I think I will to stick with them...out of funds at present

Paul,
It’s your car you can put on what you like that’s my thinking anyway. I’m putting landie ones on and many have. If you not bothered by non-chrome they look ok.
If you take a look at my build thread on here you will see what they look like at an early stage.

Hi DaveP
I've decided the obvious and most sensible thing to do would be for me to stick to the landrover set like you because then any wiring diagrams you do will apply totally to my build as well

Paul,
If you have not purchased the kit and donor yet you have time to look at alternatives. But if you happy with the landie style then that’s a plan. As I said I’ll share my work freely with you and if the leads on the lights are all the same then jobs a good ‘un.

Trying to plan everything now so I'm ready when the time comes...thats the plan anyway

Kobra Looks Good
I was out running at Castle Archdale last weekend and seen the blue Kobra. I took a few minute to look round it and it looks very nice.

Thanks for the kind words. It was a bit messy looking as I hadn't cleaned it inside and then drove it 40 miles in the rain to get there.

Hi mate. Good to meet you at Hillmount today and have a yarn. the Kobra is looking good and an inspiration for when I finally get to building one. A shame we couldn't get a picture of the 2 cars together. Drop me a private message if you want my phone number and details for the UKCC.
