I have a quick question on plating the front of my Corsa, I bought a 6 piece 5mm plating set from teddytopend. Has anybody got some clear pics of where each plate goes? I've figured out 4 of the pieces but I'm unsure on the 2 rectangle pieces.

Also Do I need to cut away some of the panel in each corner to get the 2 bigger plates to sit flush?

Cheers mate, They help a little but don't look like the plates I have. Seems like I do need to chop a little bit of metal out to get the plates flush.

If you look through some of the threads listed below in the Related Threads section you will see some other people have mentioned that they don't sit flush...

That doesn't seem good to me though, They stick out a fair bit so wont be as strong.
Looking at Chris Astley plates fitted they seem to sit flush. http://www.corsasport.co.uk/board/viewthread.php?tid=342165
