Kel...Yes i think it will have to go, gone off it, ill keep to side ones to keep the peace, haha.
The colour is salamanca orange, from a pugeout 307 hdi, colour code MO(W9).
As for the lights, standard but i put a film over them and just cut out the parts for the lights, its not tacky tho, i took my time!
How much would you all value it at, realisticly, im going to advertise in Max Power and the regualr cruise forums...........
Thanks for comments.

Yeah i did everything you see, first attempt aswell at anything like this.....if you notice also the petrol filler is missing on the offside rear quater...........thats because i relocated it behind the rear light cluster, its on a hinge and two small magnets hold it shut!
In fact, while i sprayed the filler primer i didnt put down the final coat, but i got it done for £250 inc paint, haha.

First off, top job mate! Really nice work there! Looks like youve put some man-hours in there!
Personally (remember, this is my opinion) i do not like the kit at all.
Colour is a good choice however.
At least youve gone the extra mile and sorted out the rear track so that the wheels fill the arches!

thats the only thing i don't like! it needs some super wide rears, those wheels on it look like the inside of the wheels sits level with the origional cars body! the wheels look as wide as the arches needs some split rims!

Cheers lads, thanks for the comments. Id never fitted any kind of kit before, so i suppose you could say i threw myself in at the deep end! Ive lined all the underside with sheet aluminium aswell to make it more sturdy, not just left it flapping like normal, also used aluminium braces to hold it in place.
Only trouble im having now is that i have spaced out the rear wheels considerably, and im getting major scrubbage at the back, not quite sure how to rectify it, i only have a 20mm drop but putting standards back on will make it look kack......
However if i can sort that and the exhauhst, im selling up, for how much i dont know. The im going to either buy a corsa b conversion alrady done, or chuck myself in at the deep end again and attempt one myself.....

for the price mate it really depends how much someone is willing to spend! It's not as if i could get a book price for ya! If it was me though i wouldn't sell it, not after all that work!
If you stick it in the back of max add £3k onto what you want for it, everyone else does!

i think some one would give you 2.5 yes, but remember your selling to a niche market so choose your advertising well! ie max power / fast car etc, piston heads is always good as it's free.

Post in the Classifieds on here, it's worth a try, and free. There are bound to be some lurkers into that sort of thing which don't post.
Good workmanship etc - it should be featured in a mag before you sell up etc (don't tell the mag you're selling though).
