Pic 27: Showing the correct position of the wires ‘07’.
Pic 28: With the model upside down, fit the front panel and secure it with 2 x AGM screws and 4 x SM screws.
Pic 29: There are a LOT of wires in this model so to help keep things easier to manage, you could run all the wires fitted in this stage through the channel in the floor and keep then in place with tape.
This is at the builder’s discretion.

STAGE 101A:
Right headlight and front subframe.
NOTE: The order and manner of fitting the front subframe shown here is different to the printed instructions.
If you try to follow those instructions you will find assembly extremely difficult, if not almost impossible. The assembly is too springy and floppy for that method to work easily. The parts will not stay in place as you proceed.
The method described below will make the assembly far easier.
This is entirely at the builder’s discretion and you may wish to follow the printed instructions.
Pic 1: Locate the headlight parts 101B and 101C.
Pic 2: Fit the parts together and fix with 2 x AP screws.
Pic 3: Connect the LED’s into the rear of the light in the order shown.
Pic 4: Fit the light assembly to the body as shown and fix with 2 x ZM screws.
Pic 5: Fit the clear cover in place and fix with 2 x SM screws.
Pic 6: Re-fit the bonnet support 36C removed in the previous stage.roymattblack attached the following image(s):

Pic 10: Press-fit 9D/F onto the left output housing as shown.
Pic 11: Repeat on the other side with 9D/F.
Pic 12: Lower the subframe assembly onto the main chassis.
Note that the bracket 9I will locate in the area circled.
Be patient as this is quite fiddly.
Pic 13: With the model on its side, fit the bracket 9I into place and hold it there while fitting the retaining screw CM from the other side through the hole in the wheel arch.roymattblack attached the following image(s):
