I must say many projects often fail to have enough pictures of during the build. It's easy to take pictures afterwards and before, but during is sooo sooo important with something like this! So well done on that as well, as Mick pointed out. I've been guilty of not taking enough pictures during projects with my work as well, but the one's where I have are really useful and people can understand the work that went into it a lot more.

That really is amazing work. Who did the lightening (airbrushed?) effect?

The curve of the 'glovebox' area is beautiful. It looks like that section of an S60/V70.

cheers

That's fantastic!!

Personally I would have left id with the perfect metalic blue, but although not entirely my thing, the lightning looks supurb :) Well done, you should be very proud :)
