Hi Kjeld i talked to my contact at the glass factory last Thursday and he said that my door glasses should be ready for delivery this week.
I ordered only my glass for now! so i can be shore that they fit before i get them to any one else!
I made a steel model of it at Christmas that i sent to them. So lets see how it works out! I will let you now.
Hi Chris I made the grill new from steel ! I think that is easier than grinding!? and not so weak because the original part is some sort of cast metal and very fragile.

Beautiful workmanship! Thank you for detailing your progress and sharing pics. Keep me coming!
Garth, are you way too stimulated by those pics, or did you actually mean to say "Keep 'em coming?"
Wow what a nice build. Building your own 5S fenders too, which not many will attempt; however those look excellent. Will look great when done with those custom wheels.
Thank you all for the nice comments!
It would be a lot easier to buy the 5s fenders ! But in my eye they don't look right, I want them to follow the tire as close as possible.
And i have raised the wheel opening so the tire is in right place with the car lowered. And then i also have the front panel 80mm more vertical than oem to flow better with the lowered back panel
Its possible to do on the original 5s fenders but almost more effort than making own fenders.
