Odd Jobs:
Test fitted the headlight grille covers and they seem to work OK.
Because I need to align the 'ears' I made with the three fixing clips, I have marked the covers like so.
I just need to sew this into the material and trim the excess elastic and that job is done.
Next I put some masking tape on the aero humps.
Before test fitting the plywood from the head rests.
In this layout, the bottom corners are equal distances from the body shell on either side of the hump.
But this just looked a bit odd.
So I switched back to a layout where the bottom edge is vaguely horizontal.
Whilst this does highlight the 'step' in the body shell, from one side of the hump to the other, it will do.
As the bottom line is I should know better than allowing a straight edge to come anywhere near the car.
So before I could change my mind, I marked up the holes for drilling.
In the photo above:
- The bottom edge of the masking tape runs parallel to the bottom corners of the hump.
- Where as, the bottom three holes align with the bottom of the headrest (middle hole is lower on purpose).
The good news is I keep coming back to my real world experience that no one else will care!
