Not much of an update.
I was getting a bit of water in the boot after a wash on one side, most likely culprit was the gasket on the driver's side rear light cluster. Ordered one from Honda and fitted yesterday evening.
Picture of old gasket:
So I cleaned my car this evening in preparation for Go Japan at Brands Hatch on Sunday, and......no water in the boot, so it did the trick
. Here are some shots of the car after it's wash. It was just a standard wash, hoover and dust inside, quick detailer and some tyre shine, didn't need anything more as it lives an easy life in the garage away from the elements. I did realise though that I don't take many shots of the interior so I took some of those as well.

Lo
Looking superb matey
I was getting water in on the driver's side of My boot.
I simply pulled the boot rubber up all round a little then closed the boot down slowly to push it down again.
No water ingress since
Cheers for posting all the luvly pics

P.S out of interest what do You recommend as a great alloy wheel cleaner ?

Hey Toadster
Thanks for your nice comments.
In my case the leak was definitely the fault of the light cluster gasket, it was in pretty crap condition once I removed it and since fitting the new one, no more leak
As for wheel cleaner, I tend to use normal car shampoo, I never let my wheels get dirty enough to require an intensive wheel cleaner. I do however wax the wheels when I wax the car and also use quick detailer on them if I quick detail the car. I find these extra layers make cleaning the wheels are total doddle, but like I say I don't let it ever get that bad.

I don't think there is a need to wear masks outside really, I just kept my distance from people as much as possible, less so with the people I know and trust but still kept to social distancing.
The 280z was lovely, and the CRX in the pics was an OEM UK car and totally immaculate, very impressive.
They look great fun, I would love to have a ride in one let alone drive one. Unfortunately ownership is unlikely due to the 2 seats thing and having kids.

Yellow NSX really cool and want. Failing that, a Prelude will do
