Count me in.
As long as he roof lining does not have to be removed, the price seems good value. I have toyed with the idea of changing the rear lights to ones that come on with the front switch bu ... |

I like driving an older car, no DPF, no AdBlue, no unnecessary electronics and you can service it yourself - no issues.
