the two on the rear panels should be on opposite sides to what they are now

but again you can only see one side at a time

It does look good,

if I ever get round to putting some pics of mine on here, you might think its not bad, but if you saw it up close it looks crap.
I bought off the bay of e, couldn't see the decals were all creased and the paint job is crap in the picture.

But I still like it and i'm not that disappointed.

Tip for straightening alloy parts:
rub a bar of soap on bent bit then heat till it goes black then try straightening slightly ,repeat till satisfied, don't break then
