Car looks stunning mate :thumb:
im liking the matt black finish on it, and i think it went very well for rattle cans
although last night i spotted lacquer peel on the bonnet :(
That's a top job for rattle cans :) Looks good

Good job on the bumper.
You planning on spraying the grill black? Looks kind of odd with the grey grill and black bumpers.

Lights will be ok... I cheated with mine and have the inner bulb wired up as an indicator.
But ditch the novadose grill and get a mk1 gte grill... Pretty please :)

I had a 1.2 mk1 years ago with a novadose grill and that had standard headlights fitted. So The grill can't be smaller than a standard grill.
about 2 inches either side , although thats jsut me holding them up to the existing lights

I think they should be direct swap. I know the novadose grill is the same size a standard grill so they wouldn't fit with the novadose grill if they were bigger.
Lights yes grill no, IMO the grill already one looks amazing
ill see if the light fit with that grill, only problem is one of the clips is broken so its ziptied on one side

i agree with all about the bumper looking sweet,but the novadose grill your thinking about putting on,imo its a no-no and will spoil the front end(if the lights are too wide!,modify a gte type grill or just keep the one youve got.:)
