Looking good - although the bonnet scoop isn't entirely to my taste

Great job there :) I'm not far from you actually, where did you get the silver soundproofing?

I got the soundproofing from ebay , they are @ 10"x8" self adhesive panels

The bonnet scoop is there because the engine sits a little higher than I had planned , so a job for the future is to lower it by a couple of inches and replace the bonnet with one without a scoop
