Hello, Vectorman

Pick the offending faces and:

Edit Polygons > Normals > Reverse []

Hope this fixes your problem,

Set the normals to face (Normals > Set to Face), then average them. If that doesn't work, reverse them, reverse them again, then average.

Try Edit Polygons > Normals > Conform.

Thanx Danny that was it. It might have been a combination tho, cause Adl's suggestion did help but it still wasn't right. Thanx guys. And thanx for you're speed!!! Much appreciated when i'm in a tourny.
