Right, little update.

Decided today was EL DIALS DAY! except, it wasn't.

When I looked at the stuff I'd acquired, it turns out the loom was from a prefacelift and had been.....amended somewhat.
Probably could have patched it up and used it, but decided to source a UK EL loom and tackle some other jobs instead.

First up - Rear number plate light lenses

Pretty grubby huh (and they have been washed recently!)

Gave them a soak in some washing up liquid and Flash, and then a going over with a toothbrush and some hob brite

TBH, anything slightly abrasive would do, even toothpaste.

AFTER:

Much better

So we cant have the old number plate looking like this anymore:

So finally fitted the new plate I've had sitting around...

So another annoying bit, the rear window weatherstrip. Finally starting to give up.

BEFORE:

Soureced a new one thanks to @newkid, AFTER:

Then on to the rocker and spark plug covers.
Rich kindly sprayed the cam cover PAW orange when he did the engine, that was nearly two years ago now

so needed a clean up. Most of all, I wanted to tart up the plug cover where it had been scuffed by the sagging bonnet heat shield thingy (now sorted)

BEFORE:

Not terrible, but needing some tlc. I have toyed with various plug cover ideas, like phantom grey to macth the car etc, but in the end I used a 'shaved' cover and sprayed it matte black, with a nicely positioned PAW logo.

The cam cover got a spray with wynns carb cleaner to take the crap off, the DOHC and VTEC got a light sand then the whole lot got a going over with some t-cut. Couldn't spend hours on it, but much tidier I think youll agree:

Also fitted a little mat holder, but it's not very interesting to look at!

Hope you like. With any luck the next update will be the EL dials....

that old strip was well on its way out, glad the new one is up to the standards of perfection this car sets bud.

My rear plate license lens were dirty too. Glad I cleaned it and replaced with led light.. Took literally 5-10 mins to clean and put back.

Yeah, once the weatherstrips start to go, they go big time

Been meaning to clean up those lenses for flipping ages
