Do the lights fall within ther required distances?

TT

You don't wanna know how many times I have measured to make sure they fall into all the correct dims but yes TT they do... although the fog lights in the clusters do not have any bulbs in and are not wired up. I used the Westfield diagram but also checked the IVA table in the manual and all ok need to sort the bonnet now.

nearly forgot the grill so have just been doing that minus the roadster logo until after iva ....nose cone fully mounted now and solid

tidied up the rear light wiring behind the tub yesterday....bit of a bugger as there ain't a lot of space to work with

[K4KEV]

Good progress yesterday ....managed to trim and fit bonnet so it sits right now ..did have a problem with the inlet plenum touching so I HAD to make a cut out its not nice having to make a hole in a nice clean space but hey choice of engine dictated that and I think that out weighed the cutting of the hole, but then I remembered a fibreglass scoop I had sitting around so a bit of edge trim and soon a lick of paint.... problem sorted
