Just a few updates, body kit now painted and fitted, All stickers removed due to the fact they are crap copies from e bay and really let the car down, I have bought new ones from PJG which look excellent only put the rear one on though as im having the car flatted and polished before i put the side ones back.

Yeah looked better, they will be back on next week though as soon as the body shop have flatted and polished it and this time they will be a decent set rather than the junk from e bay, I seriously warn anyone not to buy them from there as they arent right in the way they look and when you polish the car the colour comes off!

Yes mate got a few pics but was a bit sunny so not that clear see below. My mate ended up sorting the brackets to had sum all along. Been on the road two weeks now just half way through building the turbo lump hopefully be finished end of summer. Did you get rid of your other shell?
