Wow quick on the reply - I wondered how many people would remark on the look.... LOL
Shall be a nice dark green when done.
Then I need wheels, seats re-covering and new hood. Hard top for now.

That is going to look seriously weird... Almost like a plastic jelly-mould. What a strange idea, looking forward to seeing it finished though.
How are you going to remove the bumpers to service it? I can only see this being a nightmare...
Still, best of luck!

ARRRRRRR the bumpers no longer come off. The body guy said this should be fine for servicing. (Well I guess one of you will tell me other wise)
It's one shell. We looked around and everything will come out regardless. The bumpers are not Fiat orignal so I have move room behind them to play with. I think it's the Radiator that may be a squeeze.
I hope
Looks good so far. I agree with Robot, it's going to be interesting to see the final result. What colour are you going for?

Thanks mate this is good stuff.
Colour of my B will be 369 - Dark Green with a minor gold fleck.
Should be done with in a few weeks. It actually looks good when you see her close up. De seamed and smooth lines. err no lines. Simple and sweet.
Wheel arches! I did see that B before. Tries to look like an MX5 to me.

wow... hey, what about widen wheel arch?
i think this looks superb, but not so much wide only about 2cm.
NO NO NO! :bang: What on earth have they done?
nino my only worry would be cracks appearing where the bumpers have been filled , but time will tell on that.
what size fleck you using and how many layers of lacquer you point on it?

Oh dear - not for me either. Not keen on the mesh or arches. Overall look is japanese rather than Italian I think.

Hi - Apperently the base colour has a gold pearl in it. I am leaving it to the experts. They say it should not crack.. But like you say time will tell.
