that looks awesome mate, flawless bodywork!
only things i see (not picking just helping i think lol) are the bonnet vents just like reeces, try filing the backs down, and the rear lights kinda let it down a bit.. what you used for them?

well wha can i say, man this is well good, but i agree with petey, sand the bonnet vents down if u can, doesnt look out of place but it will match with all the resgt of your work, PERFECT, with the lights they look very very good made, but humbral make clear colours, like water colours if u done tha to them tha wuld of made them look like the mk3 rear lights sort of see threw, doesnt matter tho mate because the whole car and bodywork look fucking perfect, thas my next project mate and i cant wait lol. oh and tha front bumper looks exelant, i know tha when i di 1 i will have to use a bottom half of a sierra bumper, i aint got the skills to do tha mate well done.
