number plate is one thing i dont mind to much, always hard to find where to put plate when the boot had been smoothed badly!!! seen worse places to put number plate!!
the best part of work on the car is the roof scoop which is a shame cos its the one bit i wanted to defo remove!! gonna leave it on now cos its well fitted

Does look like a bit of a challenge mate, but im sure you'll turn it round.
You're work is superb mate, for someone self taught the quality of the cars you've done is awesome.
These threads are quality, keep us posted!

I'm not keen on the lights - the lines/shape just don't seem to suit it at all. Whats happened to the rear bumper, it seems really skewed; you can see the passenger tyre clearly sticking out but the drivers side seems to be well within the line of the bumper.
Is it the bumper itself or is the chassis okay? I know the camera angle will explain some of it but it just doesn't sit right
If you pull this car off you will be forever adorned with the CS King of Bodywork crown!

will take a look at the bumper, pretty sure its the bumper not in line cos its normal bumper going onto wider arches! so prob not inline!
i am happier with the back of the car now and the lights, looked sooo bad before, looks beta now

i think you will do a great job on this mate. but LiVe LeE says the rear lights look terrible. I dont think they look right for some reason.
Might look diffferent when sprayed etc.

I think with all the work involved, you'd have been better off just putting normal corsa lights back in
