So, since I had the prang resulting in a category c total loss being placed on the car for a broken bumper and light, I have been sourcing parts and goodies.

Sourced:
New steering wheel
Headlights
Headlamp washer bottle and jets
Replacement bumper in XPG (courtesy of Bren, big thanks to him)
Headlamp dimmer switch with headlamp washer switch in it from a civic.
Accord executive interior light with map lights.
Auto dimming rear view mirror from a ZT and got a smaller cowl for it from BMW for a fiver.
Rear parking sensor which the wiring is now worked out for but need spraying.
Heated windscreen is on order
Bonnet lifters are on their way
Sprayed the lower grill black and will do the upper grill and see what the mk1 grill is like on it.

And so the repair begins:


Stripped down the front (the washer bottle is also out now) found no underlying damage which is always nice.


Off with the old. Headlights will be forming a new project later in the year hopefully.


Sprayed the grill black and now looks much neater than chipped grey!


Transferred the gubbings over (need a right hand light washer elbow to fit that bit to the washer)


Just about ready to go on.

It isn't perfect but it is a good base seeing as I'm thinking of getting it resprayed.

A few little things to sort out before refitting like polish the headlights up and spruce up the engine bay but I'm pleased it is back on track.
