cant believe you havent worked with the filler some more to get it more uniform and smooth rather than lumpy and pitted as that really lets it down

Fair play for having ago yourself mate!

Defo will need bigger wheels when finished though!!! They look far to small now and the arch gap is too big

Painted, at last, getting pissed off with all the work atm, so the paint is on, came out better then i thought, just gotta flat and polish it and a few more bits to spray, then the wheels.

Will be done soon, but here is the progress:

have you sprayed over sticky stuff where the rear number plate goes? looks all bumpy there.

looks a good spray job, obviously not finished yet, but as said before, those arches are hideous and completely ruin the look of the car

Kit Looks quite good considering the amount of bodge you have had to do to get it to fit

Does the filler cap open??

and is the paint a matt colour or is it just the pic???

looks good
