Finished up the mods to a primer finish today. Really suits the car and will look great with the roundels Stephen.

rounded edges

Chris at Tribune

Can I ask how you form the rounded (beaded) edges when you cut apertures into fibreglass as in this thread. (same question to mikmiglia)

I need to form a beaded edge to re-profiled wheel arches on my G46 I looks as thou you have inserted a former to the cut edge?

Any progress on the 250 you were forming around the TVR chassis that was looking really good.

Have you taken a look at Seanick's build thread? There are lots of examples of making edges beautiful in there.

Thanks for the pointer, I had not realised how much he changed the kit, nearly chopped it up as much as our G46.

It is an excellent thread with great photos.
