Quick update for all my CL friends. 
Car is currently faceless after I removed the front bumper to access my headlights. Sent these off to a UK guy I met a while ago at one of the car shows for him to re-work. Should be pretty special when they are done.
Whilst I would love to say it was just for cosmetic reasons, the passenger side (your drivers side) headlight was really suffering from water intrusion/condensation. When I removed them, you could actually hear water sloshing around inside it!
Guy doing the work found a nasty hole in the headlight that some kind soul decided to cover over with a piece of black ductape!
I'll be honest, I'm more annoyed they didn't tell me about it than the actual breakage. At least I could have done a better repair to avoid all the consequential water damage! Waiting to hear if the ballast is shot, or if it was just the bulb that blew out.
Also going to fit the new set of carbon front splitters to my front bumper whilst it's off.
Eyeing up the VLAND taillights as well (smoked would be my preference), as think they look great.
After that will be a bit of a wait whilst I hopefully earn some extra cash to sort out my new wheels, Cusco or OS Giken LSD and a set of the Penske's.
Will update again soon!
Cheers all,
Pete

Greetings CL,
Thought I’d share a few photos from the Tunerfest South show at Brands Hatch in Kent yesterday. Can’t take credit for most of the photos, as my nephew’s better half snapped the majority of them!
No prizes this time around in the Show ‘n’ Shine competition, but still had a fab day in the sun (albeit now mega sunburnt! Lol).
Hope you like them.

Hey Pete! Awesome build thread I actually realized that I had a picture of you car saved on my phone since I first got my ISF, I save it because I liked your hood set up! Amazing build definitely one of the best ISFs out there. I hope to join the Superchargered ISF group soon. Like you I wanted to knock out all the smaller stuff first then save the big $$$ for last. Great videos also car sounds awesome!

Hey Folks,
Quick update, out with my old steering wheel, in with my new one. Also new centre console up front, new carbon paddles and steering wheel controls, and new carbon inner door handles. I’ll be selling my old wheel soon, and may ship ou to Texas as market here is tiny in comparison.
Hope you like it.
