    Clear side repeaters, tasteful grille mesh. Lower it.
    Maybe remove rear tailgate Black vinyl.
    Leave the rest as is.

    My MOT place is of the opinion that because it has sort of wrap around indicators that is good enough might be good to ask the place where you get your MOT done first

    I think they look better with the black bits of trim left on, gives it more style in my opinion.

    Things to do: lower it, de-lock, clear side repeaters, remove and smooth out original arial hole, bee-sting arial and paint the grey plastic trim black.

    Should look something like this:
