Or split the rear screen in half Renault 5 style. Not sure if it looks good though

i was gonna do this but it would be trickey to get a perfect contour out of steel. much better to make a fibreglass or carbon mould of the rear screen and smooth it in properly. if its carbon you could always mask up a lgo(unless its considered way to tackey that is). ps i know where to get cheap carbon.

if you done it with fibreglass it would be easier to remove, if you found it was causing a loss in value??

Always wanted to see corsa with completely smooth rear windows. i.e A contiuned pannel from the rear quarters up to the roof. Would be really hard to follow the curve of the rear quarter though

PROGRESS.............FINALLY!!!!
finally, wheels are done for the other lads pug, got the other corsa repaired and polished up and he picked that up tonight so after ..............15mins rest got motovated and thought lets make some progress on this car cos will have next car working on prob monday so gives me few days on this baby!!!!
i love the car fair play, think its got alot of potential, got flat time on the one side think it mainly due to lack of any tread and the wires of tire sticking out!!!!
well here we go more pics from tonight!!!
whipped bumper off and decided to smooth the holes for lights out, grinded off and fibreglassed up!!!!
pic from the front, made me realise how i need to re shape the bonnet on right hand side to match the left!!!! miles out
couple from the front
love this pic, soooo low!!! me gf moved the car round last week as i was moving another one and cought bumper, another crack to mend!!! opps
few of front side
one from back to front
just skimmed another layer of filler on roof gutters!!!
should have some more progress for the next few days so will keep the pics coming!!!!
its nice to be back working on it!!!

Thought that might be the case. is it actually that shaped though, could extend the bonnet even more and have a lower line? I am a perfectionist it would bug me
