Replacing the headlights.
 
That is why I hate new cars. Nothing is simple anymore.
 
It's necessary for today's demand for fuel economy. All of the front panels overlap for reduced wind resistance. I remove front facia's to replace bulbs on almost a daily occurrence at my service shop. Although, I suspect there's a little more going on in the above pic.

I know but I don't particularly care for new styling anyways so it rules out anything new for me.

You'd be right. I was replacing the entire headlight assembly on both sides. When I replaced the park light bulbs with LEDs, I discovered the LH light was held in by gravity. I've always wanted a set of SiR headlights and got a good deal so decided to replace the old ones.
 
Interested to see pics of the finished product. 👍
 
Not bad, but do they make a black back clear corner for your car?

It's got SiR park lights on it which have a black surround. It doesn't help that the park lights are on. :lol:

I might pull the old ones apart and see if I can make a black corner light with them.

I see the black surround now, might just be the angle of the picture that makes it look completely white. Probably looks better in person than it does in pictures.
 
That view. The Mini looks good too.

Here's a phone photo of my 300zx in front of the big lobster in Kingston SE. These big things are pretty common tourist attractions over here. In fact I've seen a sheep, an olive branch, a koala, this lobster and a fish in the last year alone :lol:

There's also the Big Pineapple in Queensland.
 
I surely look like a poor bastard with nothing more than a turbo brick among all the sports cars but here goes anyway.

Nice! I'd rock the brick summer or winter. 👍

That other car in the top pic is actually my old car. Included in Gran Turismo :D I just hope some day my new car will make it to Gran Turismo, the predecessors and successor is in the game, so why not this one? 💡

First time in any kind of fog, and it's some dense stuff. I really love the way the blue still pops like that in weather that usually makes everything look dull and washed out.
