I've had a productive weekend going crazy with silicon adhesive sealant. I looked for all the panel gaps on the car and smoothed them out where I could. Here are some of the nasty gaps which I was working with and how those gaps sealed up - some are awful grubby still (the car needs a good wash).
Using the correct tools for the job:
And some other bits I've sealed up, like the gap between the roof and the rear spoiler:
Gap at the side of the bonnet/hood, using a length of rubber vacuum pipe to fill one side has actually shifted the bonnet slightly, thus closing the gap on the other side too!
Even the wing mirrors got the treatment, for what its worth. These gaps are no longer there
