I never had a problem with my colour coded handles ever getting scratched or marked by my partners rings ect, but behind the handle on the actual door was a different story, finger nail marks were evident.

The front of your car is really looking the goods now, keep it up

the wheels will be staying as is for a while now unless i come across something that really catches my eye and is in a decent price range. this is how it will be staying for now after the new headlights come

1. If you were a true gentlemen, you would open the door for them
2. If they have been around long enough to open the door themselves, make sure you don't give them a ring to scratch it...

Okay, so you don't actually use the 3 other original holes at the base of a factory grille.
So instead of 7 bolts, you use 4.

I reckon you could even out the gap between the bonnet and grille, but lifting your bumper reinforcement (reo) slightly on one side.
What I mean by this, is leave the screws that go between reo and radiator support (RS) and loosen 3 of the 4 larger bolts that hold the reo and lift on one side, then tighten.
Will lift the entire RS and enable better line up with your new bumper.

Not sure if you knew this already but the uneven gap was something I noticed.

Looking very sweet, can't wait to see future progress!
