Carbon mirror caps trial fitted. On the fence with them so going to get the rest of front end carbon on first. Then collect some spare mirrors, spend some time getting them fitting perfect and looking oe as possible then fit too the car and decide.
Powrflex rack bushes showed up too, thanks @Dr...

New subframe bush also fitted to replace the tired...
Got some inner arb bushes sorted, just need to order up all the other bits, going to wait till payday for that.
