I'm working on printing flexible materials. Once I've cracked it, the boot grommet is first on the list

I've only seen one D2 with a glass roof, and that was when Prestige took it to bits. I would have put it in mine, but the interior was platinum and mine is soul.

Is there a link that describes solution to this problem?
Obviously, the grommet was part of original cabling harness for boot and it is no longer available. I winder if there's a quality fix to this problem.
On my 'written off' car that grommet was tip tip...

Does it have S mirrors or are those chrome caps?

This has been painted at some point:



Looks like the bumper has been filled and painted - is that the scuff he mentioned? Easy enough to get a mint rear bumper from Prestige and paint it properly.

The screen surround looks fairly normal.
