dont be sorry mate, not everyone is gonna like it, like i say, when its all done im sure people will come round to it more,
it does look a bit patchy in the pics but i think thats just because the rear quarter hadnt dried, all the rest matches perfect,

its not actually patchy in person, will go take some pics now to show,
i think it lokks patchy on the pics because the quarter hadnt dried,
if you look at the boot and roof etc they all match perfectly with each other, it is just the quarter that stands out,
brad
edit:-
pics just taken now its dried, definately doesnt look patchy now
(ignore the water its just rained, lol)
