Haha, yeah a lot don't seem to have them but i'm going for a close to original look with a few improvements

So today i took the steering wheel off to find that one of the indicator return springs was missing (which would explain why the indicator wasn't cancelling when i turn right) so i put 2 new ones in, all good now.

Lol how much did those bastards at Rare Spare charge for those?

Edit: It's still so wierd seeing VLs with the analog clocks in the dash

 

[GirlwiththeVL]

I think it was like $6, which i didn't mind but an extra $6 on top for postage was a bit of a joke!

That's not bad, thought they'd charge $35 at least. They wanted $180 for a brand new blank rear garnish when I went there (I work in the next suburb from their main outlet in Brisbane), was like um wtf. They also want I think $85 per side for calais rear lights
