Unless an LED or two goes

I've put mesh on my side vents as well but purposely did not go all the way to the top so that I can get at the indicator bulbs if I need to. You can't notice unless you get on your hands and knees.

I realise that but if one or two go it won't cause any grief

This mesh doesn't go to the top but it would be difficult to get to the holder with it in place.

Well I gave it a sand down tonight. I know it's nowhere near finished but it's getting hard to see where the filler is required, so I've given the duct a scratch coat. Most of the imperfections is where different filler was used, and I would imagine would get covered in a few coats of paint. I can now work on filling the effected areas:

At the moment Kev I'd say it looks like a small explosive device has gone off in your air box, interested to see how the finished article turns out.

I could've just said, here's the before and here's the after. But I wanted to show how these things look during, to give people an inside into it all

Kev i don't envy you with the fibre glass task at all. I used to do it to my front bumper weekly as you know,but i can say you are doing a great job there and it looks great so far.

Keep up the good work mate it will all be worth it in the end

Looking great Kev

Thanks for the nice comments guys. Well after a few more efforts with the filler, I applied another coat of paint. I really can see the wood through the trees. Still have a little more to do though:
