Let the vent fitting commence:



This is the last time the car will look like this as the novelty of random, bright coloured wheels and general paint-pot colours throughout the car has worn off. It's time to tidy things up. Before that though, as it was sunny I gave the car a bath and nipped down to the local industrial estate to get some pictures 



















I'm well happy with how the vent looks, it actually looks purposeful (IMO) as opposed to a big gay vent that's just stuck on for chavness lmao Annoyingly, the bonnet itself isn't straight (not on the mounts, the actual fibreglass ) so the vent sags slightly to the nearside wing, but there's nothing I can do about that.
The car's having it's changes over the next few weeks to tidy it up including having the tailgate repainted and backbox raised. The more vigilant among you will notice the black wing mirrors, red tow eye, removed yellow tow stickers... more to come

The boot is fibreglass, so won't sit flush, and if you bothered to read the text you'll see it's being repainted.
