Update: 19-09-2008 Smoothing

Right so this is from before i went to the VAG OPEL show in belgium but anyway.

Fitted the front bumper then fitted the irmy grill which didnt wana sit flush but eventually managed to get it right.




Then fitted all the arches so it was all fully colourcoded and smoothed:
