Spot on Merv that looks brilliant... can't wait here for mine to go on as well but it's not going to happen for while yet with one thing and another.

Thank you Kev
I was thinking it would look a bit front heavy w/o the spoiler but sod it
The 4 holes for the hinge were the first to be drilled, by me!! Then the pilot holes for the hole were then drilled, again, by me
All the measurements were spot on too!! Took about 4hrs in total!! The prepping stage took the longest but worth every minute!!!
I'm completely happy with it
Loving the look!!

It wasn't THAT nervy!! I was more nervous just at the thought of it
Once the holes were drilled then I knew there was no going back!!!
