angle grind it and it will look good, dont forgte that fiberglass ones arn't made to look good. the standard one with some choice mods will always look better.....

oooh no heater matrix, i would get rid of mine but i use the car all year round and i havent seen heaters to look good yet! how do you deal with the window misting up?

Have them made out of heavy duty polycarbonate (like new car headlight lenses), dearer but more resilient, and I think even lighter than perspex.

Easy, it doesn't, he never drives it

The whole reason for it's existence is so that James can eventually make a lighter than air Corsa, so he can actually fly it over the desert where he lives and on to new civilisations
