That belonged to a guy called Brad, the venerable 800 series expert. sadly, he no longer owns any although at some point he had dozens but has had hundreds over the years.
Top bloke, I must visit him sometime.

The last one Brad had I think, with the plate too.

That rear plate is far too big though...

ebay - I bought an oversized plate for my Mk1 MR2 to fill the gap between the number plate lights

matt, no matter 820 or 825, it'll empty your wallet, bank account, savings, your house, wife, kids, divorce, homelessness etc etc, if you buy the wrong one, if you get a good one then just wallet, bank account, savings will suffice.
