ive also carried on with the rear arches and have made some progress with tubing the inner arches to the outer skins. im not 100% pleased with it so far im going to spend some time tomorrow tidying it up a bit at least its covered up with the kit.

ive also fitted my extra stock car stylie brake lights. im not sure what the law is but i should imagine that extra rear lights need to be sealed to the rear window to prevent light being emitted inside the car. i can see these reflecting off my rear screen and illuminating my interior badly, so im going to take the lenses off and tint them black.
