That’s kool well done.
You said you’d do a few things differently, like what?

When doing the internal corners I scribed some and some I just butted them up so you don't get such a neat finish in the corners.
I did miter my external corners just to see if I could do it seeing as it was for myself, they are ok but I would not attempt to do it for anybody else, at least until I've practiced them a bit more.
Also I've got a little bit of addy poking through the grout but only in a couple of places.

Best way to deal with internals is not to grout and Silicon instead.
It will give you a neater finish and in fact is ‘best practice’ it allows for any lateral movement in the walls.

I did Silicon the internals but using metros you can sometimes get triangles of Silicon when you butt them up rather than scribe them, which doesn't look great.

If they’re siliconed, then I apologise, try a slightly larger bead then.
Or ask @Andy Allen 🙂
I must admit, metros we’re flat last time I fitted them. 😛

That's ok! Siliconing is definitely an area I need to practice, especially with metros and the bevel on them.

Don't bother
Like you do your own Silicon let alone metros. 600 x 300 are metros to you!
