The time and money it would've cost to fit was just too prohibitive so we ditched the idea and the kit is just sitting upstairs in the unit.
They all fit like that. Apparently the moulds were taken off the genuine MGC GTS cars, which were hand-beaten aluminium hence the fit is abit average. Whether this is 100% true I don't know, but certainly the moulds are less than ideal. Unfortunately for me, the wife wants some on hers - once I've got them to fit nicely I'll be taking some new moulds, (with 350+ hp it's a given one of us will bend it).
