cheers for the comments so far peeps!!! 
been to cool louvers today to get the wing sorted...and came back with this
excellent quality and the guys were all sound there! even though we did get a few looks....seemed like no one had seen an asian before LOL...were SOOO many bikers around that area as well....when we drove up to the workshop all you could see were Peugeots LOL...and i mean EVERYWHERE lol...seemed a bit odd witha Golf parked between them
i might go back there to do some more stuff to do with the bonnet 
also another pic of the front bumper on the car at a low angle...
check out the air flow improvement compared to a standard bumper
am off back to the garage now that i have some feeling back in my hands lol
will report back later tonight with todays progress although this weekend has been VERY slow

Good work fella 
Much respect
Are those angles the same on the bottom part of the bumper?? One looks more of an angle than the other??

cheers peeps! been a while since the last update so i thought i would let you all know whats going on with the car...
well i have been busy just generally prepping the body work so i wont bore you with the pics...so far all of these bits are ready for primer...
got the bumpers, wings, kit all ready to go....mirrors and bonnet should be finished by tomo at some point
also painted the inside of the front arches/wings...ran out of paint the night i was doing it so pics are not up to date
also started the mirrors the other day and have got to the final few layers of fillering...although these pics are showing the FG stage lol
hope to get the car ready for primer by end of next week...
will be ordering paint etc soon as well....
Andy, yeah the bumper was a bit pissed lol...sorted it all out now though

Hey peeps, havent updated this for AGES now so thought i would inform you of my progress...well i havent had the car for the last 2 weeks as its been at the body shop getting the wings and front slam panel welded in...have also painted under the arches...not a full on job, needs finishing yet but looks impressive so far
inner arches are now at this stage:
when i dropped the car off it was looking like this:
picked it up from the bodyshop today like this:
the paint on the slam panel and inside the wings needs to be finished off yet but the sprayer will do that when i drop the car off ready for priming...
will take some proper pics of the car tomo with the bits on...
on tomo's todo list:
shape rear arches
go over all filled bits and make sure they are perfect
get rid of rust on sunroof
carry on sanding rest of car
should be back at the bodyshop in about 2-3 days to get everything primered
cant wait!!!
