Changed the bonnet latches to nice shiny new black ones. Satisfying result for an all yellow / black car. 
 

Just have to work out now how to get the rivet bodies out from inside the tub / trim gap as will probably rattle about.

I think nearly every Westfield on the road has a few rivet heads either in chassis tubing or between fiberglass and alloy and both in my case they don't really rattle around .

Did the same on my orange car - amazing how such a small change can make such a big difference to the look. I was also worried about the rivet bodies rattling - but I can't hear anything over the noise of the ITBs and exhaust....😉

Just squirt in plenty of Dinitrol or similar cavity wax and that should quieten them down!

Now you mention it I think I may have done just that!

Had to move my work bench from the shed into the garage as the shed is in the process of falling down.  The garage has no power and it's a bit dingy. 

 

I was going to buy some Ryobi work lights but they seem expensive and weren't really what I wanted so I knocked my own up from a Ryobi battery adaptor, a buck converter and some led strip:
