All good mate. The only thing I would do, is round off the corners of the cut out for the fmic. If you get what I mean. And it'll flow with the other smoooooth lines.

Yeah I know what you mean, I did consider it at the time but by that time i got back up there it was in the booth being painted. I will have a look at it over the winter months. It will give me something to do along with fitting the bottom line kit.

Try putting some black tape over the corners, as if you had cut it out, and stand back to get an idea. And as for the bottom line kit, that's gonna look wicked.
