Yep return to stock and remove what looks like 5-10kg of bog on each wheel arch.

Mood: Getting ready for next show? You were getting ready for todays show b4 the fibreglass got knocked out of the 'sail'. Perhaps they should call
them 'wheel ouches' instead of arches. Yeah, pretty sad beginning of what should`ve been a great day considering the effort you & (R) put into
it. So,couple of Jd`s later, the mind has settled down somewhat & now the ideas you`ve had going on can be put into practice. At least now you
know just how the flares were made. A couple of weeks time & hopefully all this will be sorted. cheers

Might need to see a boat repairer with all that fibreglass and resin. How did it happen, the usual brick letterbox while reversing?

The car is looking great Mate. My personal opinion, the stripe does not do anything for the car specially the bottom bit. It doesn't follow any of
the body lines and kind of ruining the look. But that is only my opinion. Post some more pics of the car from far. Would love to see more of it

I love customs, and I love HUGE racing flares, but there something about the rubber ended 911 bumpers that leave me cold. Reminds of rubber nose MGBs.
I reckon you should think about ditching them and go fully for that early 70's sports sedan look.
