BTW - 2 simple questions for all you experts:
How do you convert h/lights to continent - black tape? but where?
Or is there a switch?
Digital mph - is there a switch for kph - or do you need an onboard cerebral calculator?

I get a drone rather than a rattle on trailing throttle more noticeable in second than third but no rattle! By G sensor do you mean seatbelt recall if so..... better safe than sorry mate.

Re. kph. Yes it's a simple button to change the display

The G sensor recall hasn't been done, is it worth getting done?

Thanks for the replies guys, nice to know that you have far more knowledge than our dealers do...
Anyway, had another glorious top down day, saw some mates who were gobsmacked by the looks and the scream of the engine when on full Vtec!! Wowww, I love it.
(I'll book the car for the seatbelt recall, cheers Cedric)

Masking off projector type headlamps is probably a bit of a no-no.
If bloody foreigners drive on the wrong side of the road, they're gonna get dazzled
Actually, despite buying the car in Belgium and a holiday to Bremen, I realise I didn't drive it in the dark. Headlights on in rain and tunnels though.
The car's even rarer in Europe, so everyone seems too overawed to complain

I bought a set of masks from Halfords. Had patterns for most common current projector lenses and instructions for working out how to position them if the pattern wasn't there.
Basically there's a baseline and a centre mark. Keep the mask to the right (as you look at it) of the centre mark gave the correct projection reduction with maximum forward visibility.
Made the lights seem as bright as "normal" headlights rather than HID bright.
I didn't want to give the Gendarme anything else to throw at me if they stopped me
