| So I was bored at home...thought I'd do up my trueno to panda spec...using vinyl adhesive sheets. Now I don't know how long these will last, nor do I really care since I can always pull it out and/or redo them again...so it was just to pass my time...       Only managed to do one side this morning though :piggy: Wheel arches were cut free hand, as you might have already guessed...8| Update! Since I was getting the brakes done today I decided to complete the driver's side: Up on "stilts":  Driver's side complete:  These areas were a bitch to do, as you can see it's not perfect I have to get some pinstriping to finish it off. Might redo these sometime in the future:    Number plate area still not yet complete...that's for another day.  |

| So I was having a day off work after a visit to the dentist and getting my teeth drilled and 8 injections in the gum  and I decided to finish off the number plate area with the vinyl. Judging that the whole right side of my face was numb, I am quite happy with the outcome at this stage. Still needs a bit of perfecting, but I'll do that slowly...   |

| not a big fan of the panda look, but props on your work here. Looks flawless in the pics, In real life is it a 10 footer or just as smooth? |

| If you look real close, you can see some parts which the vinyl could have been laid better. I plan to redo these parts slowly, perhaps after the engine transplant at the end of the year. |
