printed off CorsaBrava on publisher in banner mode to right size then stuck it on to some spare leatehr cloth then cut each letter out, stuck it onto the mdf and then trimmed it like normal making sure it stuck to all the areas that mattered! 
 
was gonna get mirror made for the back but that would have cost money......hehe

would like to keep this one cos i dont so much to it but i know where i live the front bumper would not last long down the lanes i live down! 
 
the car is not totally imiculate but its still good, i wished i had the time to not have to rush it and could have done few other mods like moving fuel filler and also air filter coming out of the bumper which i wanted to do but jus dont have time 
 
off out now to put springs on front and get wheels back on the car, then c how it looks
