Lovely cars 
I do worry with the age of them now tho. Rebuilds aren't cheap.

Presumably the headlights and the sunstrip for starters.

Vents, scoop and the front is totally different. You have the headlights for the facelift bonnet like above, that's why they don't sit flush with your bonnet.

Yep. I'd also get the crystal headlights and fogs too. Really refreshes the front end.

I've found some of them on ebay. It will brighten things up a lot at the front. Plus the rear lights, the ones where it's white at the bottom and not yellow. I've also been checking them out too.

The 2.2 bit was a joke. I made a thread a week or so ago. On Pru.co.uk, when i used the number plate to get a quote, it came up as a 2.2T 2dr

Type R rear lights
If you put on a facelift grille and leave the current bonnet, it's quite hard to shut the bonnet and even more difficult to open it due to the latch position.
