Humm interesting will have to look them up then...

Mine are a bit crackly and old, being second hand out of a jumble sale!

I'd like to convert mine from windows to utility. Thing is it is quite original so would be nice to keep it as a original CSW but have never had seats in the back and a utility would suit me better.

im surprised the utility panels are not more readily available from suppliers. i would have thought it would be a popular conversion for older 110s! My 109 thread

I know right?

Looked into genuine and then decided would be cheaper to buy a TD5 utility than to buy panels and convert!

Problem is it starts a slippery and expensive slope, want side panels, but they need painting, may as well do whole body otherwise new paint and faded paint will look weird, if I'm going to that much effort I may as well get new doors, so may as well upgrade to TDCI doors, and if I'm doing that I need new trim so may as well do electric windows, and if I'm doing that should probably upgrade to td5 dash. Oh bother I have spent £6k Shocked

Dunno. Have you got the 'Disable BBCode in the post' box ticked, by any chance? Darren

Amazing how it lifts the paintwork!

Might give mine a go Very Happy

As for the lenses, keep them orange. They look a bit odd pre TD5
