Sorry don't mean to be picky but it looks like the front bumper drops a little on the RHS of the car (LHS in picture). The gap on the indicator looks bigger.

Is it just the picture or are you going to rectify it?

Ahh. Didn't see that part. I'm blind.

Nice work on the whole project. Do it yourself and you get a better job done. :D

Well the job hasnt quite finished as yet, when the head lights where glued back together, 1st attempt was with Araldite and as soon as the headlights were screwed into place the Araldite glued pieces snapped off, I got recommended a glue called ZAP® CA (Pink Label), man its the best glue I have ever used & will be using it in all future plastic gluing.
I will add pics later.

Well today she was cleaned up & reassembled, Pitty the drill battery had died & didn't end up screwing the XR grill in, hopefully in 2 weeks it will be back on the road once again.
It wont be having the plates that are on there now as they have being cancelled thats why I have edited them, I personally don't like the new style plates layout XX-00-XX I rather the old style of plates XXX-000, so I don't know if I will get custom plates or accept the new style :?:
