Check Quarter Panels

I've been looking around for ideas for my CR MCS.

Finally decided that these were cool, but only in a 1x1 inch pattern ... too many aftermarket sources are offering bigger. So, I went ahead and did the whole thing myself. Not difficult, just needed a LOT of patience.

Quarter, fender, A or B - it still looks good and probably took a fair amount of work.

Nice! Now you have to do the mirrors... here's an old thread... methodology would be the same, just smaller checks... I like the smaller checks on yours.

Nice job!
Did you apply them as a sheet or individually?

I'm a former BRIT, so whatever I call ANYTHING ... I'm wrong in Canada ... or the States.

They were individually cut out and placed on backing paper (no doubt the wrong term He He)
The whole job took me 6 hours, but I think that it was worth it.

Roadsailer - FYI, here in the States we say "ha ha".
The panels still look good. BTW love the colors (colours).
