Next update:

I had mixed thoughts about the morrette headlights, so decided to change to standard headlights, complete with standard clear sidelights (thanks to Karl for those). Once I’d sourced some standard lights, I had to buy some bolts and nuts to fit them, as well as some rear bulb holders which were missing (thanks to Paul Cos for those). I also really wanted a set of amber front indicators, so after several months of searching, I got some from Graham (Polaris Escos).

The splitter and hockey sticks were originally gloss black, so I sprayed them with Simoniz Tough Black for the original matt finish. Unfortunately after 3 attempts at painting the splitter, it still hasn’t come out as well as the hockey sticks and the lower bib, but it’ll have to do for now.

Nice to find no nasty surprises behind the front bumper.

I also changed the imitation nomads back to standard, as well as the side repeaters from smoked back to standard (thanks to Robbie for the side repeaters)
