Let the modifications begin

So for me, tinkering and messing with cars is a lot of the fun, and simple cosmetic changes, make the car feel a bit more mine.

Now, I know it's a Westfield and not a Lotus 7, but I like car because of it's roots.

So the clear rear lights, and stripes to the rear did nothing for me, and the tiny front plate the same.

So, stock rear lights, and fog light, chrome numberplate lamp, black and silver square plate and a selection of period stickers went on.

Round the front, the tiny plate was removed and a black and silver stick on has gone on, and yes, I've changed the Westfield badge to a Lotus one !

It's also gained a roof, not that I'll usr it a lot probably, but as I don't have a garage, and most of it's time its wrapped up under the car port and under it's cover, the roof and frame add another level of support and weather proofing.

I got the roof form a club member, and although used, it'll do the job just fine. I've not gone mad getting it aligned just fitted the poppers to the body to match the hood, and got it up and functional.

I'm hoping I've been good enough for Santa to bring me a half roof for Christmas :)

Keep the lotus badge, it's where Westfields came from...

I too was flamed for the lotus badge but some members have no sense of style...

Lets face it, it's just a toy, and I'm like a big kid :)

I fancy 7 on the front grill, like this.

But will have to investigate sizes that will suit the Westy nose cone.
