    Thanks James, me coming to meets depends on where they are bud, I dont mind traveling but a lot are just too far away to make it practical. Going to try and attend a few more this year though.

    It looks the nuts now Craig!

    I had the same problem with the lights mate but MRP put them in place for me otherwise they kept on falling out when I hit a Pot Hole.... Thanks Martin!

    Thanks Ian, so much happier with the front now. Just hope that the two retaining bolts on the n/s headlight that kept pulling out will stay in place, dont want a headlight falling out do I?

    Yeah... Only thing I need to do now is change the headlight bulbs for something with a white lite as the yellow bulbs looks crap alongside the white LED's...

    Looks the business TC, you really know how to turn a motor around! I have to say too I've never really been a fan of projectors but on your car in silver with the newer grill it seems to work.

    Im guessing you'd still rather have the old R back though?

    Thanks, I wasn't too sure about them on a silver car but now they're fitted I love them. You know.... I think I may finally have gotten over the black R, really like this car now (bar a few little niggles).
