tell me you didn't use regular bondo for the front sides and the front modding of the kit.

im glad you are dooing your work your self, it's a great learning experience, but from my past experience anything besides long or short strand fiberglass reinforced filler will crack(and even that will crack when being put against polyurethane.)
i wouldnt even worry so much about that as i would worry about you molding the bumper/kit to the fenders with only bondo. that was a big no no. grind as much of it off now and glass it together, then start to mold it in with short strand then bondo. pm me or email me if you need any help with it, let me know where exactly you are, maybee ill take a look at it one day

Well good luck with your body works, but everything looks like it'll look tight when it's done, good luck.

The corners look good. yup shaved I did them. BTW he specifically wanted them dark...normally I dont do them that dark and I just match the UKs but I must say the darker corners look pretty good on a black car with e36 lights.

Oh and it looks like the car is going to be sharp when you are finished. Take advantage of Shavedmaxs offer to help...hes pretty sharp with body work and is always willing to help out.

Good luck with the rest of the car.

are those the euro clear ones? the ones with glass instead of plastic and projector lights? and angel eyes!!!!!!? !!!!!
i wanted those but couldnt afford it. how long did it take you to install them and properly aim them? it too me like over 25 hours...but i hear others say it takes them like 2 hours to get everything done from start to finish....

anyways...looks good......

...oh and yeah, bondo or substance like bondo on flexable parts is not good...unless whatever you got is able to flex too
