Havent managed to sort the drivers side R/wheel arch yet but shouldnt be long. Ive had an idea of cutting the Vauxhall rear 1/4 trims into the fog lamp aperatures. The same holed 'mesh' type effect as the rest of the grille & front end.

Yeah its mostly Mistral Grey, but theres been a rattle can respray (doors & rear quarters) at some point in Steel Grey. Vin plate says the car should be Carmine Red so I'm guessing it was re-shelled at some stage.

Will be mistral Grey when finished though.

Aha, you've had a name change then? :)

It came off a H plate GTE 16v with a very standard looking centre section mate ;)

Doh !!

To be fair though the car is beginning to get tidier as its nearly all back to Mistral Grey.

My car was badly painted with rattle cans by a previous owner in the wrong colour. I simply washed it off back to 'Mistral Grey'.

Why not grab yourself a set of GTE r/quarter trims & cut out fog lamp shaped inserts. Have the cheese grater effect right accross the front!
