good!
like duc-tuc says, old lights would be nice. or bring the lights closer together like the older cars have, that makes the fenders look wider..

and i like the idea of shortening the 2cv seats instead of those heavy golf seats.
the simplicity of the original seats suits the 2cv best.
and they can be just as comfortable, certainly when you cut 'em up and tailor them to your posture :).

I agree 100% I've got a bad back, and I double up the elastics on my seat, and it's one of the best comfortable sitting positions I know, they look basic cos they are, but it doesn't make them bad.

looks cool! fast progress!
i hope you'll attack the front axle soon, otherwise it's going to drive like shit Razz

.

and about the front fenders; the better way to go is to knock the inner lip flat (away from the wheel), instead of grinding them off. then the fender keeps it's rigidity and it creates the same space for the wheel to turn.
you can also spot this on car with (too) large mudflaps on the front fenders. the whole fender starts flopping around (by wind) and start to tear at the very top. but maybe that's the look you're going for.

and honest, i don't like the rear lights like this either...
