Default I've been thinking
I've been thinking putting my blue bits back to white and leave the the wheels and my surname left on bit fed up with them but not sure. At the same time I'm doing that I'm gonna clean up the arches and get them all back to white and put on a front splitter and repaint the calipers as the rust starting to come threw the old paint

Back to white, leave the wheels blue. If you keep the name I'd go for the outline of the letters only so it's got less blue.

Prefer it like that and with the smaller rear spoiler, think it suits the classic better

Thats a real shame, looked a tidy classic Glad nobody seriously hurt, hope the insurance process is simple and you get a decent amount to replace it.

/edit just read post above, hope you get it sorted then.

In limbo land with insurance at the moment but the company that was sent out to check the damage said she can be repaired but not by us as its uneconomical to repair but second hand doors and weld a new arch in and a paint job and check middle pillar see if its ok to the doors and pillar needs moving back u can do it. The bloke was gutted for me he said it was so clean and low mileage too
