Many thanks for your kind comments, I can't take credit for paint as it was via a third party (Nubodi), I was looking for a chrome effect but at the end of the day it just didn't work out due to massive complications with paint and processes to get it correct. Therefore have settled for a metallic silver, which really is the best scenario. I'm pleased with the results and will be moving forward to get the final result I am looking for in coming weeks.
Cheers
I have ordered from ebay some repeater holders and led lights to replace the orginal ones due to not having a metal panelled car so earthing issues

The metal one was the original one and you can see it only has a live connector as the earth was to the side part that 'plugged' into the repeater that in turn is screwed into the body of the car, making the earth. On a fibre glass car we can't do this, so initially I soldered a wire to the outside surface of the metal holder, but in general this didn't create an effective circuit. also didn't look right, so scoured the internet for an alternative and came across a modern part that fits well even though it is all a little longer. This gives me 2 plugs to attach to and will work perfectly.
BTW the repeaters are from

Car pretty much complete
Well I am pretty much finished on my car and want to thank all the people who have helped me along the way, This forum was fantastic and I will be dipping in every now and then to see other progress. Special thanks to Nubodi for getting the gaps sorted and all the hard work with the prep and painting.
This weekend I completed the wiring loom and made it good, put both door handles and mirrors on, tidyed up the top of the doors, painting them black on the inside so they look good from the inside. I have one piece of trim to put on the top of the drivers side door, you can see from the photos below that I had to improvise and apply weight whilst it bonded, still some detailing to do but these are minor things will post more when there are any significant changes.
Oh and the interior needs a right royal clean, so kids will earn their pocket money!!!
MOT this week,,,,,,fingers crossed.
Cheers for now
Andy!!!!

BTW - yes I know the hedge needs a trim but have had other things to work on this weekend!!!!!
Ha ha, wish it was. Not sure what else I could have done other than stand there a few hours pressing down on it. No worries, the risk was worth it!!!!
Thanks Dave, much appreciated!!!!
Thanks, no mines the Sport version not the SE

Yep its on the windscreen glass, I might have a look to see what can be done about that, either fill in the 2 clear parts of BMW badge with something black so it looks like a little shield or, see if it can be removed in some way, without damaging or replacing the screen

Hi, yes thought numbers might split opinion, also part of greater plan and they are easily removed.
