Get a J cloth and rub the plastic headlight surrounds and radiator grille with WD40 and they'll come up black as good as new.Looks like Spagetti land in there mate!
I finished off hammeriting the front bumper:

today i have primed painted and finished the roof and tailgate door in a delightful forest green, tomorrow full body respray from a 24yrold brown to a lush green. DIY garage job of course!
I've just given my front bumper a coat of hammerit. I'm just about to put the number plate back - when I saw the pictures in the post above. The number plate is in the recess above and behind the bumber. I've tried this on mine and its partly obscure by the grill.
Which is best on the bumper or as per the red'un above?

Ok, today was a big day getting tools and other things for the overseas trip.
I've managed to install the custom spring for giving the bonnet extra lift.
I had to drill a hole in the frame and get a washer in. It wasn't easy, so I got the grill out of the way and managed to get my hand in. Spring washer fell out during the struggle and went on with just the flat washer then the bolt. The spring sits in the hole pretty nicely though
This weld might look pretty to the eye but it fractured when the weight was put on it!
The other side held though. I might have to get the other side rewelded though.
The bonnet closes but the release catch was in the way so I trimmed the metal press plate a bit with tin snips and wrapped it in tape.
The spring doesn't catch now and when I drop the bonnet it closes nicely to the release catch but no further. So as it's just a bit too big, I'll be looking to cut the spring down a coil or two later.
