Just had it out of the bodyshop on friday.
they repaired the b-pillars, fittes the skirts, closed up the panel gaps front bumper to wings, cc'd door handles, dark headlights, and new door check arms.
i'd given them 2 n/s handles, so gotta get an o/s one to take back to them.
not 100% happy with the work, o/s b-pillar isn't totally smooth, and there's a gap between the o/s skirt and the rear arch which looks a bit gash. he's sound, so i'm sure he'll redo it without a queerie.
crap weather today, so i'll get some more whe its next sunny.

wheels are vauxhall 15's. think from late cav sri 16v's and possibly a few cally 16v's. they come with centre caps, but i haven't bothered. look kinda like a baby 6spoke MO. 
Jambo is on thecase with a cc'd boot lock. swapped it for a parcel shelf. 
gona have the lock and wiper removed when i've got a bit more cash anyway.
and bumper straightening i'm not sure about. i just asked them to do it and they have. he said it was a nightmare as the clips don't line up 100%, but he got it done.

got smoked repeaters to go on when i get round to it. after a post97 rear bumper too.
i just noticed my plate is a little lower on the right 
and the rear arch needs to be snapped back on.

how often is that? 
i can understand that they're not to everyones taste, and that's good IMO.
they don't really look like steelies though.

50 a side.
welded from the inside. i've got no doorcards, so i guess that may have saved a bit of labour.
