I'll post pics as I do it. As I'm removing the existing turn signals and side lights its should be pretty straightforward. I will need to run additional wires to the inner head lights for the 'running' lights.

Default New Head Lights, Halo and integrated turn signal

Got around to installing the new head lights, pretty happy with the results. Used Plastic buckets from the UK for MG / Triumph.

Default Dash / Center Counsel Update

Slow progress finally got another afternoon to work on it. The switch gear is all connected and working. The touch screen head unit is next to install. The dry fit still needs tweaking but is getting close, had to share pics

I'll do a review when I have it fully wired and working. Below is a link to the unit. I've split it into two separate units. It easily disassembled and the pig tail for the screen is long enough to bridge the gap. amking space for the wiring harness for the switches and the head unit is going to be tight.
Here's the unit:

Wow, that is a very attractive price. All the sudden I am looking off into space and saying hmmm. All that and cup holders. Are the toggle switches going to have lables? I love the look but I have trouble remembering which of my toggles go to what and I installed them.

The far left switch (fuel change over) has illuminated arrows showing left / right the other switches down't have labels. I was going to water jet cut letters to label them but decided against it.

Default Slow progress....

So time has been limited, this last month I've got to spend time with her. But it went togther and worked. I've had to change the head unit type as there just wasnt room for the single DIN 'box' behind the switch gear with all the switch wiring. Fortunately the market has moved on and the same style unit is now available with all the electronic fitted 'flat' to the back of the display (i'll post pics soon). Wanted to share these !!

It's obvious that you have put a lot of work and thought into your car. The bumperettes are like the race version of the Cobra kit cars and, of course, the original race cars.
Thanks for sharing your work.
