Thanks for all the comments guys and i am hoping the jap styling will look good, i have looked around and also want to keep it looking like a sidewalk as it is still an LE. So well will see how it all pans out :)

What do people think to welding up the air vents? I dont use them and i will make the car more water tight once done?

 

Suggestions peeps??

Many people do weld up the vents. I have made up blanks for Project Erm so if my lad wants to have air vents in the future we can whip the blanks off and refit the vents.
