Congratulations. It looks great. I know that feeling. I went 14 years between vettes. Divorce does that kind of thing. Drive it in good health and have a h*ll of a good time with it.

Those export plates have always looked better on the C6 than the ones we have here. I suppose it's the wider plate works better w/ the wide grille, it also doesn't hang down in the airflow as much.

Looks great, congrats!

Too bad GM manufactures them with the steering wheel on the wrong side.

There are mods (mainly imported from the US) but I'm going to keep it stock for now. I think it's all a bit too much for my neighbours as it is!

Yep, there's CCCUK (Classic Corvette Club) which is pretty active, and even allows new-fangled Vettes to join! Check it out at http://www.corvetteclub.org.uk/

That's the European regulation turn-signal repeater - I'm so used to seeing them on cars over here that it took me a few minutes to figure out which light you meant
