Surprised you haven't done more smoothing since you appear to have the skills to do so and you are doing a full re-spray anyway, finish does look good though!

sorted an ongoing misfire the other day... after lots of research into misfiring, i found absolutely no good advice.. as the previous owner had recently replaced the coilpack, i thought straight away "injectors"...
but which one.. i presumed injector 3 was the issue, and previous owner then verified a mechanic told him the same.
so i stripped the engine of the coilpack, then unbolted the fuel rail to find it was injector 2.. so after a ball ache of a job getting it all back together, the car now runs like a dream
 on goes the modifying

You do know that injector 4 is the timing belt end. It's a French thing just to confuse everyone.
