Adjust door mech
Sort out a means for mounting a camera
Drill some ventilation holes behind the plate. Hoping that Goodwood will be HOT!
Look at electric window switch
Looks good!

Caterham looks like a laugh

2 points, the rear wheel carrier will come off, there's a nut on the right hanger thingy that doesn't look like it does much but when you undo it, you can remove a sort of insert plate and it's a doddle to get the wheel cage out.

Ventilation holes are a good idea, but prepare to be frustrated. The bumper is pretty heavy duty plastic behind it so deep holesaws are a good call. You can widemouth the bottom "slatted" area for a bit more airflow. All in all you should be good though, standard VTS cooling is ok.
