Full repaint, didn't seem to be much point otherwise given the scope of repairs, and the bonnet has never matched exactly (had it repainted in the USA when we first got the car as it was burnt from the engine air-cleaner fire)

Going for the same colour, nothing too fancy.

Somewhat tempted by these plates on TM, but wif probably wouldn't approve.
