Nice job MC71 :happy2:   Was the plastic easy to paint?  What paint did you use
 Last Q  is the coolant lid off ebay and is it a good fit?

Filled the gap with several layers of Isopon flexible bumper filler, a lot of sanding then 2 coats of plastic primer, more sanding between the coats, then 2 coats of Matt Black and/or Gloss Black with more sanding in between. Put it all back together, et viola!

The Coolant Cap is a Porsche 911 cap and its a PERFECT fit. It can be bought all over the place for around £25-£30, got mine from awesomegti.com. If you want it to face in the right direction (like mine) it will need modding, bit of a PITA but looks better than facing the wrong way IMO.

Lots!
Fitted Sony XAV 72bt stereo, replaced rear number plate lights with led ones and gave it a full home detail! Looks really good now, I'm really happy with it. Will try a post up some pics tomorrow!
