I'm jealous of your boot. 

 

The lack of handle looks amazing.

 

What are you doing about a fog light?

I think it the part I'm most proud of. I've spoke to my mot man and I have a set of clear lights so I'm going to rearrange the order putting the indicator in the middle which will put my brake and fog at more than the 100mm distance so fog one side reverse the other

Cheers fellas I won't be doing the boot lid again 3 weeks and countless number of hinges later it's still not perfect but looks cool

Hood not a chance lol unless I can't get the power down well enough with them lol.


Last night did not go well tried fitting the glass and got nowhere so fitted the drivers lock internals and handle and just as I was feeling good I found this

The door is catching on the a panel and has pulled the paint on both so that will need repairing. I need to slot the hinges to move the door inwards as it is slightly proud the a panel

You got any spacers to get the door gaps better Darren?

I found having them on the shell rather than the door itself stopped this on mine.

Looks great, love the colours!
