Thanks DR :wink:

means i need to blend the re-contouring lower down.

basically it follows the window line.

I prefer EK trim! that dip looks awkward.

Thanks Nathan,

I am enjoying this, after selling my wagon I felt really flat, and I had lost my desire to build any cars... this has set me back on the right path tho. :D :wink:

can't stop thinking about cars and potential projects now.

I know that now Ratbox, thanks to the collective knowledge here. EK trim looks way better IMO, but it's going to be FB trim as the factory intended.

the only EK roof on this are a couple of inches of roof rail.

I should have stuck an FE roof on it, that would make it super cool :lol:

thx Oldnek,

Mini is suffering withdrawals.. his computer is broken and he cant see any pics I've been sending him!

trimmed, set and eyeballed the roof last night for hours, should be back on soon enough, just waiting on a few little "intergrip" clamps to help me do the job.

Cheers
