sixcyl ◊ 2008-11-11 21:46	If it can help? At 1st glance I went to A70 option, but the rear window does match more with A40 ...

rpcm ◊ 2008-11-11 23:55	You're right about the detail of the rear numberplate. Perhaps the sill trim doesn't go so near the wheelarch and what is seen is the wing, not the tyre.
