Adam i would definitely try some paint stripper on the original side repeaters because if you could get them back they would be worth saving. The corners on the splitter you could use mud flap clamps to hold them down. So glad you have started to turn it back to original spec mate. They look so much better standard. Great video mate.

Back in my Max Power boyracer days it was considered cool to have as much of the car colour coded as possible to the paintwork and also have clear indicators overly ugly orange. However as this car is now a 'Classic' hothatch i think it makes sense to go back to factory fit styling with the indicators. However the morette twin headlight conversion is lovely, id take that over stock anyday.
