I am almost complete with my coupe restoration. Can you spot the 11 major exterior changes I have made from the before and after pictures?

Yes those "fog" lights were the first to go. In addtion to mirror location, added drivers side and replaced with Trap mirror but I will count that as mirrors location.

GOOD START you have 7 out of the 11. Who can get the 4 others?
 
Proper side mirrors (Trapezoid) properly placed. Added mirror to right side. That two tone paint is gone too.
Car looks so much better. I'm sure the photos don't do it justice. Nice work!
 
Still 4 major changes not spoted yet. They are pretty tough to see with these photos but I am confident with your BAT eyes you can spot them.
 
Looks like the front grill was replaced.
I like the asymmetrical side mirror offset!
 
Deleted electric antenna on driver side fender.

Removing the pimp rims it had before counts as two changes…
 
I knew you guys could do it. I am impressed with the antenna delete Andre! That leave two egg remaining to be found. This is what the
Sleuths have identified so far correctly:
  1. Mirrors
  • Euro Mirrors. Flag mirror replaced by trapezoid mirror
  • Mirrors moved forward to Euro position
  • Mirror added Passenger side
  1. Antenna delete
  2. New paint
    1. Two tone removed
    2. Pin stripe removed
  3. Black behind fender vents
  4. New Kidney grill 4 slate grill replaced with chrome 5 slat
  5. Reflector deletes
  6. Alpina wheels/new tires
  7. Lowered
  8. Fog lights removed
Who will catch the remaining two?
 
USA to Euro turn signal lenses. Side grille decal addition. Still no wipers, are they going to be added?
 
Eric great bonus on the wipers. I had orginally put that on the list but before the picture had taken them off when I was doing the Engine bay refresh.

So CLOSE one to go. I know you guys will get the last one! Look at 3364 closely
 
Oh you installed the vertical rubber strip in the pillarless windows separation.
We almost had a fistfight here on whether it requires glue or just slides in. Mine is glueless and I kept my composure.
One side kept falling but I am too stubborn to admit it may need glue.

Nope

But mine does fall out and I am planning on glueing it.
I will give it a day to see if anyone else can spot the change.
 
Could be the tint. I can use a shotgun approach to other options:

1) Replaced roundels
2) Rolled a bit more the arches
3) Replaced trim at the rocker level
4) Lubricated the lock
5) Certainly put new tires and they are lower profile because the rims are perhaps 15 or 16
6) Was able to get the hood to close at a perfect flush level

I am not sure if you did any of the above, but you should have.
