The carbon-fibre headlight bowls with the gloss clear-coat finish have been on order for a few weeks now along with a few other bits and pieces. David and his team at Classic Carbon are working on them and I hope to receive the bowls at about the same time as kit delivery.

The plan is to remove the LED headlight inserts from the standard lights and bond them into the carbon-fibre headlight ring using Sikaflex 221. The carbon headlights will be installed during the main build instead of the standard items.

The other items (bow-tube protectors, coil-cover, light blocks) will be fitted toward the end of the build or after IVA so not as time critical as the lights, but I like to have everything to hand.

UPDATE: 8th February: Just received an email from David at Classic Carbon with an update on progress. The coil cover is complete and the other parts are in the process of having clear-coat applied.

UPDATE#2: 10th April: No parts have arrived yet although David is ‘hopeful’ of getting some parts out.

UPDATE #3: 25th April: Been in touch with David several times this week and now that the disruption from the Coronavirus lockdown has settled down he has made progress in finishing the parts. The bow tube protectors have been posted via Royal Mail and should arrive any day. The headlights are have also just been finished and will be posted today. The remaining parts are finished and we are just waiting for some neoprene gaskets before they can be shipped too. The bow tube protectors and headlights are the priority items and I am glad that David has got these out.
