I think they call it 1970s build tolerances coupled with its built by lotus, tripled with the fact I've molested it

Not bad but they are a separate bolt on piece so I can adjust independently

No I shall use gel coat as the new wings have that. It's much stronger than filler in areas most prone to knocks etc.

I'll use filler only small imperfections
