Right, next bit,

My car was happily parked up at home and one night some little twat kicked my indicator in and broke the headlamp mount at the bottom, so i thought id get a set of amber indicators.

I found second hand ones wernt far off the cost of new ones so i got new ones and when they came i thought that a front end freshen up was in order. So i got some paint and got to it

I then made up some little brackets as a temp measure for the grill as it was insecure due to having non cosworth headlights. Also i made a bracket to hold the nearside headlamp in place
