Made a little jig to hold the duct openings at the right height and pointing the right direction while the filler bonds

Just hope the stay put when I grind the tacks off or there could be some blue language lol

Right....... id love a bit of input from you helpful chaps.

Ive been playing around with different lens options, based on the dimensions of my lights etc.

So the tape is just the shape of the polycarbonate covers that go over the top.

I have limitations as to where these are going dimensionally

1a and 1b  are just the headlight on its own, the indicator can be screwed to the outside of the bodywork lower down

2a and 2b are the same as 1a and 1b with just the lens wrapping around the side a little for a more modern look.

3a and 3b is with the indicator mounted behind the lens, inboard of the headlight.

4a and 4b is with the indicator mounted underneath the headlight but still behind the lens. Similar to the pink RX7.

Thoughts? diff options?

As im not going down the SVA route ( with any luck) Mr MOT inspector is quite relaxed over headlight heights, and theyre not exactly scraping the floor like the 787b lolll

Power is nothing without control. Weight is enemy of performance, handling and braking.

Not that my opinion counts for much but personal preference would be for the last as it appears on the pink car. i'm still just in awe at the standard of your work and the skill sets involved.
