BACK WORKING ON CORSABRAVA NOW SO HERE ARE SOME PROGRESS PICS:-
all pretty boring but here goes,
the rear end of the car as it is, just keeping smoothing, re skimming the rear lights boot and rear arches in a few mins, skirts are almost done now, just few holes from there they were attaches that need smoothing!
front wing and arch, not to far off being done, just needs little more work on, wings extended wings are done tho to meet up with lights!!
roof rails are ready for paint now and smooth
picture of the front end
the bonnet it pretty much ready for paint now also,
the bumper just needs few areas finishing off then ready for primer!
one job for today is to sort the rear bumper, i had budgeted for buying a new rear bumper cos this is a mess as u can c but then last week i ordered a spoiler for the car to replace the gsi/saxo one so that was spend instead of the rear bumper so now i need to sort this, cracks everywhere, goes from one side to other, bring out the grinder me thinks, hehe

Are you still planning on doing vents? imo you should leave them, or if you do put vents in, put Merc Sprinter ones in (like Martin C?)
