    Re: My pearl

    Not at all. Just saying I espied them in one of the photos. They are period and you don't see many around. I assume they haven't been available to buy new for some time.

    As regards whether they are any good in terms of styling/taste, it's each to their own.

    That is true each to there own, to be honest I was not and still am not sure about them, but they came with the seats so thought will see if I get used to seeing them in my car,if not off they go.

    Re: My pearl

    Where did you get the seats from? I used to have a raider years ago and I had my seats and door cards done exactly the same. Looking good hopefully getting my pearly white resprayed this winter and back to it`s best.
