My god you've been busy,, car has come along way since you've had it.
I would stick a new badge or something to cover the holes in bumper where old badge was.
Other than that I can't fault it. Nice.

Ive got a pair of black/silver MG badges for the front and back, but dont want to go putting them on until i pop an MG grille on.

Extreme spoilers are just that in my eyes - a bit extreme. Current plan is to mod a Rover Coupe spoiler to fit, should go well with the long boot.
