ye agreed pal it is one of the practical car features that a 90s sports car such as the calibra shouldnt have had,
its took a few hour of prep, design and even arguments between me and my body worker to deside on what will work right with the lines of a cally on the filled roof rails,
a calibra has body lines you just carnt tamper with to much,
for instanst i dont think you can take away door strips and bumper strip on the same cally cos you might as well gone for another car altogether..
anyway back to topic at hand we've gone for carrying the line of the boot pillor along the roof 90% of the way and fading into roof and windscreen pillor,
its prooving hard work but ive nothing but time to find what i feel perfection so will keep you posted on the progress...
