And the house build thread is awesome, too. Made me look for a house to buy in Japan... especially considering prices in Socal are running away from reality.

This is how it looks at the moment, Angled Zoom Engineer Centre Plate Bracket w/ USDM Sized Front Plate, The Front bumper is now filled and resprayed at this time I just bunged the holes up with some rubber grommets and painted white (Granted I could have gone Jap sized but the USDM is slightly smaller and I think with UK Plates looks better. Also the eagle eyed viewers might spot some mooneyes plate bolts) (Also need to sort out the panel gap the passenger wing, struggling to find time to do the smallest job these days)
