I am fairly sure I am going to this thing at Burleigh. If anyone who is coming also could provide the below I'd be very pleased.
A driver's side wing (Delage Red if I am very lucky, if not I'll get one painted)
Passenger's side fog-light/indicator unit for a Mk. 1 with the locking tab intact (mine currently ty-wrapped in)
Interior fresh-air/recirculate slider. I have the knob but not the sliding cover piece that must slide up and down to cover the gaps (does that make sense?)
A front door speaker
Sunroof motor gear wheel (a BX one would do apparantly)

The fresh-air/recirculate slider bit is to cover up the massive chick of light a night picture above. Hope that helps make clear what I am after.

That slider blank is a plastic ribbon that has a slot in it for the knob to project through.
If necessary, you could make one.

You will have to paint a wing.. Yours is the only car i have ever seen in that colour.

Not a biggie as the paint on the rear quarters needs done anyway. Not sure how to recreate the stripe though!

Any good bodyshop should be able to apply the stripe James, that is assuming that you are not painting yourself! Regards, Matthew T.

The stripe might be just a transfer

True, it's just getting the stripe to match is the problem. I had the car buffed and polished at work and most of the paint came up okay. The rear flanks is just poor quality paint from probably a repair over a decade ago and won't shine no matter what I do to it. 'Cheap celulose' the painter at work reckoned. You can't polish a chalk board!
If I can get a wing, he'll paint that, the rears plus spoiler to get this one looking nice.
