I believe it was only collected in recent days, so sure it's on the list. From memory David said he was transferring his plate off his PF to go on this one so probably not a priority for the short term!

Yeah that made my OCD teeth itch too. Personally I would remove the spoiler, and return the under bumper panels to original

Thanks for the comments guys.
I personally like the colour coded lower bumpers and the small rear spoiler, so both will be staying.
Rear Number plate will be sorted once transfer of my private plate is actioned.
Car is in for gearbox oil and filter change.
Wheels are going to be refurbished by Wheel Works a couple of doors down from AutoWorks. They come recommended as other forum members have used them.
Really pleased with the car so far
Must be time for a regional meet down south if anyone is up for it. I am back in the UK on 10th Aug, if anyone is up for it during August

Both cars looking very nice.
Maybe I'm sad but I love photobombing another D2, its so rare to see another one.
This poor unsuspecting guy was parked in my local supermarket.

Of course, any comments are just personal observations and if it was mine, I'd probably do the same. I hope the car continues to please for a long time and, once the box is serviced, wafts you along in silent comfort - or, as you have a Miltek fitted (?) - in a V8 burble.
