It looks like you've painted the sealing face for the exhaust gasket, may be a good idea to clean this back as I'm not sure it'll help you get a good seal.

AT LAST, update!
my order finally arrived after about 2 months
(and still missing 2 parts)
yesterday i almost finished the rear side of the car with superfins etc etc
now i have to finish the subframe and add it back on the car, then it will go for painting!
some pics
but, i think my hub is not straight enough , and need replacing because my wheel is moving right and left all the time..
