Bit ill atm and waiting for some parts that I need before I fit the bumper (vent grill and tpms arial clip). The more I think about it the more I think I'll be at it with matt black paint before long.

He certainly seems to know what he's doing with a hammer :)

Did a few bits today, did the waxoiling of the new panels, underneath and down the bumper bar mounting holes. Put the bumper bar on and side skirts (held in position). I'm waiting on parts from Audi (rear vent) and can't put the bumper on until then. Then I'll go around doing things up, put the interior in then nearly done.

Thanks :) Yeah, I'm happy atm. Got a few bits of aligning to do, exhaust allignment, the offside exhaust valve is not working and still not sure about the red paint between the exhausts but overall happy. The only bit that won't come in to alignment is the nearside rear wing. Where it meets the bumper, the curved bit where it goes from vertical to horizontal sticks out about 1mm, maybe 2mm. I can live with that though :)

sounds like a little bit of fiddling is all that’s needed!
