Are you bonding directly on top of the original skin then? Presumably cutting out your sunroof?

Proper job. I was seeing a ledge or some kind of smoothing mission resulting in odd looking proportions.

When you text yesterday, you said you were going to go down there today and to expect an update!

Does that mean i'm going to have to go and dig out old photo's, scan them and upload them?? DTM splitters etc etc

Also the rear diffuser was not clipping in properly at the top so off with the bumper and a few hidden fixings cured this and while it was off i gave the tailpipe some heat wrap to protect the carbon .
Before you can see the diffuser not fitting in the middle.

Nice one m8. Just when i thought your car couldnt get any better! What do you use to make your moulds so smooth? Is it gel coat and if so how is it applied?
