The Plate in question is P 500THN, so a jap plate won't have the same effect.

Also, are you still doing the Hawkeye style top spoilers?
Yr bumpers fibreglass m8 so we can change it no probs , yes still do the rear spoilers

Fronts are direct replacement , rears are very easy if you don't want them blended in a little more involved if you do nothing major though m8

im not to sure darren. she contacted me around 10-11 months ago with regards me doing some commission work for her, the green wagon and her hubbys old blue sti8. was mooching your site (possible future business ) looking at your work and saw pics of her wagon. 2+2 etc

just working on the shading of her wagon now, then onto the next one...

never tried a wrc replica before, especially not a hawkeye. most my drawings have been classics and blobeyes.
