Looks good Dazz, surely we can convince you to part with $25 & have your shark fin sprayed, car colour.  :exclaim: :wink:

Thanks Guys..  :goodjob:

The shark fin will probably become a door wedge  :whistler:

I might give the pretend sunroof a miss though.. I might get forgetful and try to poke my head through it  :snigger:

Yes they are .. They came with 3M tape on the back. Seemed to sit better over the existing black panels (than replacing them) and I wasn't confident the tape would hold very well to textured plastic, so I used some liquid nails as well  :twisted:

Showed my M8 who has the tricked up skoda and he wants some for his wife's Honda Accord (we found some on the net)  :goodjob:

I can still take the whole lot off. The black originals I glued the new sills to are held on with plastic clips (3 on the front and 2 on the back)  :winker:

Ok with a bit of encouragement from Phil AKA 847563 I colour coded my $3 ebay "shark Fin Antenna" ...

Pretty good match colour wise.. will see how I feel about it going forward.. Does look heaps better the same colour as the car. Note the slimline weathershields are now on. They were part of the deal but took over 2 months to come.

Think I've now FINished modding the car  :snigger:

If I were you Dazz, I'd see how you feel about going backwards too, just in case it might fall off.  :rofl:

Great job  :goodjob2: and good colour match. How's the reception compare?

It didn't get much of a reception from Trish  :whistler: (Oh I see what you mean..  :lol:) It is only pretend so if the radio works better I will be amazed  :Shocked:  (and I was only joking about Trish .. she hasn't had a look yet)

What about a 9V battery glued to the roof?   :p
