    Looks nice! A photo of some fine detail would be great as well, show off some of those little tricky corner bits then ill get excited.

    I should be paying more attention but "Portland Gray"? this is instead of black? Whats the difference between the two?

    keep up the great work !

    Portland Grey is the 'silver' around the instrument clusters and lower section.

    Oh and as always mate - great work!

    Ok, better pics from my camera instead of the Iphone...





    This is the only imperfaction in the fascia, two holes were drilled in the textured end piece, damn hard to make it look good....


    But the rest looks great.... really happy with the way it came out and is actually a better paint finish than some of the originals I have, just need to paint the silver border to really finish it off.....
