I put the new AV3 front apron on today just to check how it fits, it was very easy as the apron came with brackets!

Anyway, It doesn't quiet fit round the wheel arch properly, what is the best way to cut it to shape? What sort of tool? Someone at work suggested a tile saw, any other ideas?

I will cut it down once I know how, then Prime it and paint it! Anyway here is a shot of it from the front (It's not the new suspension that looks weird, it will be because of the axle stand on the passenger side :lol: )

And this is the bit that needs to be cut...

a hacksaw should cut it no probs, and then just sand down the edges :D
