I was just going to say that! I can't say I noticed that the wing bottoms weren't painted before though.

Any plans to do the black bit on the bottom of your front wings Stan?
I blow hot and cold on this. I know they should be done to finish off the line, but on the other hand I always think it looks a bit of an amateurish job even when done correctly.
sadly, a slight rubbing on the offside with the power on circling a roundabout

I am really amazed by that. Mine is certainly closer and it never rubs. Even when I was on my P plates over 25 years ago, and being a typical youth, if it was going to rub it would have rubbed them, of that you can be sure!
Are your rear suspension bushes all new? I wonder if there is some additional movement somewhere which is allowing this to happen?

I think so Stan, that way the dark line will carry along the car when viewed from a distance. I don't think it's quite horizontal either if you follow the door edge.
