Ahh, cheers ed!
I hope they get fully smoothed out Jimmy!

looking good jimmy.
i think the back looks spot on with the bumper and everything smoothed in, but i think it would look better and a bit more sensible to keep the front not smoothed in as you may need to remove it at some point. think you may be best to try and aim for a smaller bumper to panel joint as possible but keep them seperate, think it would look better than like what it was originally.
you thought about a wing vent too? a guy was doing sprinter wings for corsas on here a while back and they looked the nuts.
and finally if you can source them- smoothed in mattig dtm cup mirrors?

and just looked too- are those rear rh's going to have to come out of the arches more with bigger spacers? seem to be a bit far in now or is it just poor photo angles?

I'm still thinking bout the front bumper.
The mirrors are going to be something special if we can somehow make the ones we've got work
The rear Rh's sit flush with the arches. If needs be i can get some new spacers knocked up!

spot on matey, sounds like you have got everything in hand. you have to get some more pictures of the rear wheel/arch distance, prob will look better when its down a bit if you can get it any lower.
hope everything goes to plan anyway. check out www.cleaned.de in the opel galleries for inspiration on that front bumper, but i definitely would not smooth it in to the wings.
