Fantastic.
I have to say, that bumper alignment is remarkable. Brilliant work, and great colour choice!

Whoa, Darren, I fear you have caused permanent personality change. Barry is so pleased to see the back of your car that I think I detect the hint of a smile in that photo.
I trust that the natural order of things will be restored after a period of convalescence tinkering with some proper cars. I mean Audi A2s, obviously.
Actually I don't think he's taking a pic of your shell - it's another loving snap of the silver A2 (bottom left). Yours is in the way.

Hello strangers, thank you for the lovely comments and most of all thank you to Darren for everything.
I have to say I am very much looking forward to seeing the shell go into paint. As we finished it in my little home workshop Darren's pics are really the first time I've really been able to see it at a reasonable distance, with arches on, bumpers fitting. I started this not being a massive fan of the wider look but must say this has really grown on me. I think it's going to be fabulous.
