I will take and post some photos, hopefully this weekend and will be sure to include detailed shots of the bumper conversion. The standard bumper brackets were replaced by tubes that are apparently designed to allow the car to pass US front and rear low speed impact regulations. This was done when the car was imported and was evidently necessary to allow the car to be registered in the US. The new mounts do not detract from the look of the car. I bought it from the original owner who did not modify the car in any way. I still can't figure out why he didn't drive it more, but am glad he didn't as it is like new. John

John,
Welcome and I'm sure you'll enjoy your new pride and joy.
As a cautionary note though I'd take a careful look at your tyres, seeing as the car is over ten years old and with a very low mileage chances are its still on its original rubber.
In the UK we have seen a number of issues arise as a result of old rubber and tyre degradation. Sorry to appear gloomy but I'd hate to see something happen to your new motor.

Thanks, I already bought 4 new Vredestein 165R15 Sprint tires to replace the new looking but hard and slick continentals. John
