So... this is the result....
Fitted new tyres with a lovely tread pattern.
Totally cleans the car up.
fitted the perspex spoiler - my old one was cracked.
Replaced the black centre rear panel - now much better.
before -
after -
fitted new side light / indicator lenses, and side indicators.
I went along to a local pub meet with classic cars (all the kids though the mr2 was a ferrari!
I also gave a good wash, polish and wax. Now very much gleaming.
I was really pleased to meet Malcolm on saturday. Was very helpful - and useful tips, and bits and pieces too.
Oh - also replaced the steering wheel - mine is now less faded - and looks brilliant.

Very nice
Re: What i did today
Looks very good.
I went to a classic pub meet on Sunday lunch and considering the other interesting cars there, still got fair amount of attention with some young men spending ages looking at it (I was watching from a distance).
Interesting cars (not necessarily good but interesting)
De Lorean
3 1980's Vanquish's
4 AC Cobras
smattering of Austin Healeys
Stunning tickford capri
very loud bright yellow kit car that looks like the result of a brutal coupling between an elise and and MX5

Very nice.
Little things, big difference.
Can't wait to take mine to a pub around our way that do a free sunday breakfast if you bring an 'exotic/sports car/eye candy'.
