yeah i tihnk im swaying to without now, purely coz im not sure if im going to sticker it yet, so might look like a proton.
and i'm sure i'll get shouted at by people on the street, look at that fibreglass kit, he's rivted it on, those wheels look funny, what that big bit in the middle

no the rivets will be purely cosmetic, i.e just through the kit, wont go anywhere near my shell mate.
wish me luck im trimming the kit as we speak

you'll find that after trimming off all you need to get the fat rims/rubber underneath (unless you have ultra solid suspension with no movement) theres nothing left of the underside rivets anyway lol, ive re re-riveted mine from underneath nearer the outside once id finished butchering them ![](https://passionford.com/forum/images/smilies/smile16.gif)
looks crap riveted to the side panels imo plus it isnt a touring car so stop pretending it is
