I think I’m finally finished with the paintwork now. So this week I’ve first primed then painted 9 separate wheel arch pieces, 8 mirror pieces (2 different colours), a rear bumper, a rear diffuser and a rear tow eye cover (2 different colours). At least the weather has been lovely so I haven’t had to get the heat lamps out to dry anything, it’s all been air dried.
These are the front wing arches and the front bumper arch sections which I welded up yesterday. I’d like to get it all fitted tomorrow but I have to work unfortunately.

Been at work all day but I just had to get the front arches on to see how they look. Excuse the poor photos, it was getting dark.

Cheers guys. I'd say I'm 95% happy with the fitment of the arches after the adjustments but the 5% is just me being OCD
The side skirts should tie it all together nicely. They're next on my list of things to do but as normal it's not as straight forward a job as it would seem.

Fabulous work Stu! Full credit to you my friend!
Do you have an image of where the rear arch feeds into the rear bumper matey and whether there is a section that goes onto the rear bumper? Well done indeed!!
