Default Paint and Assembly finished!!!
Well. finally got the hood back. Much better. As promised, here are some pictures of the car with, almost everything back on, bumpers, grills, weatherstripping etc. etc. Wish the sun was out. It gives this 06 color a whole different effect.
As always, most credit goes to the people on this forum for parts, help and suggestions. I feel like I know C3's in an intimate way now!

Beautiful !!! That blue really shows off the chrome bumpers. Like the stance, how do you have your chassis set-up? especially want to abut the front chassis set-up. You should be very proud!!
