I received confirmation from TFL the car is ULEZ compliant.

Very happy man I am. 😀

+1 on the Alpine head unit (I have the ILX 702e46). The updated one is even better.

I noticed three of the centre caps do not sit flush and the valve cover is missing the B3 badge, just a rectangular void.

I will order the foam pads and a new valve cover in the new year.
