    Not 100% on the headlights but then Frankie could have told you I'd say that, other than that looks nice. The TC splitter is a must for the R as it really works well

    I thought I recognised the plate... lol

    Perhaps you'd consider fitting Volan's or Peg's to it at some point?

    I think that it looks pretty tasty for an old bird. Perhaps relocating the horns (purely for aesthetics) would be good?

    Those lights are a bit like the projectors on the s/v/c/70s in that they suit some colours, but not all. I think they look good with your car being a dark colour.
