Shades of IROC where it broadens out. Where the IROC hood vents would go.
Looks good.

Got my number plates today :ranger:
I see you are offsetting the carbon footprint with a smaller car too. 
My smaller car has gone away to have a coating applied to make the water run off. Will pick it up tomorrow.

It's being wax polished? Lol
I don't know the details, but dirt seems to stick to it at the moment. I have given it a good wax with High Definition wax from autoglym but I think where it's a black car it a PITA to keep clean so thought I'd try this route. I have details somewhere, 5 year guarantee certificate. So may help with value of the car, inside and out being done.

Before and after photo?
It's was done by Rebellion Automotive in funtington, west Sussex.
The whole lot was £400 all in.
As I'm planning to keep the car for a number of years it's worth it im my eyes to give it protection.
Don't know how well it comes out on photos, but it seems cleaner than new.
Now to see if it takes longer to get dirty....

Beginning of show day, about 7.30am, turned the Trans-Am over, it was slow to turn, but fired right up. Perhaps it was having a funny as not used the car for a week. Charging looked good on the motorway reading over 13V. Got to the farmhouse, dropped off the gazebo, then starting up the car to reverse into a parking space. Just got rapid relay clicking. Not enough juice in the battery. Reading about 9v on the dash.
New battery needed perhaps. Well halfords down the road, probably be around £100 quid. Although I knew I had one at home. Someone was nice enough to run me back home in their daily run about, a good friend of Graham Lunt, picked up my spare battery in the kitchen (where you would keep a car battery). Plumbed it into the Trans-am and it fired right up. Thanks to Graham's mate for sorting that out, much appreciated.

Batteries don't like to get fully discharged.
I have two of these and have had for years.
Oxford Battery Trickle Charger Maintainer ATV Snowmobile Car Motorcycle | eBay
My 4th gen T/A was kept on one, as was the Vette and the TATA and the Fiero are now.
Always means the battery is topped up and ready to go without fear of over charging. The Fiero lives outside, so I just run an extension cable into the car and store it in a plastic bag in case water gets into the car.
Sometimes an inconvenience but never as inconvenient as a flat battery.
I know that link is international, but they are sold here - that was just the first link i found to show you.

Well today I took the silly dark film off my front fog lights AND dropped a 7mm socket into the top of the offside chassis leg, which is totally irretrievable! Doh!

Find an empty car park, street, with an assistant handy. Accelerate up to 20mph or do and brake hard. The socket might fly forwards and out. The assistant is handy for watching where it goes.

Are you volunteering to strap yourself to the bonnet to catch said socket when it flies out? ;-)
