Looking good. Have you taught about colour coding the rest of the car, bumper and side trim's? the hardest part is cleaning the residue that holds them on.

Yeah pal that's the plan. And i know the residue is a nightmare. last time i removed it, i just soaked it in acetone for a hour. Still a bugger after that. But it's all the fun isn't!

I was also thinking, just remove the side trims and fill it body filler. What do you think?

I suppose you could do that alright, but there will be no protection from car doors hitting you're car.

Dunno how but there's a dent already under the door trim. No idea how it got there and on the other side just next the rear arch. Both happened on same day. I was well cheesed off. The only thing about filling the gap if i do take off the door trims, is when I come to spray it, the colour match will be visible. Because it's machine silver :/
