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!!!
