i rekon the gaps look sound better then what they was at first just hope the a panels go on sweet cheers tom

[Andrew O]

Thanks ;)

Andrew that is fantastic!!! If I could get gaps like that I would be delighted. The speed you got that done at too. I'm sure you'll fudge in the A-panels. They can always be 'adjusted'. Makes me feel just a bit sick when you look at mine.

All the very best

Thankyou very much, There's still some adjustment to be done as up close you can still see in even gaps.
I was seriously considering attacking the car with a Grinder and cutting it in half yesterday.
