No they will stay on the car as per factory. The doors, wings and bonnet were all lined up prior to prep work and a bead of sealer put on the wing to scuttle join as per factory.

Si, You did tell me it was going to be painted black when we were at billing, but I started to think it could be a double bluff.

Ooooh.....


Glad you went for the Diamant Schwarz, in fact I would have been pleased either way. Tough choice though Si. Good work on your part taking pics and organising it all too Barry. Si has got the easy bit of simply paying for it :D

Best of luck putting it back together, anything I can do to help just holla...

Thats better :o: RIGHT, Bring on the rest!

Si, Black was the right choice pal from the off. It looks bloody amazing. Well done, I know the pain you've gone through on this but well worth the wait. Barrys a f*cking diamond. He's got my bros car in there at the mo having some accident work done. Makes me feel comfortable knowing it's there.
