Much better! well IMO it is anyway 
From silver to black
Got to wait 24hours before i can 1200 grit (wet) the paint and polish it up
Some pics, not finished yet like i said still needs fine sanding down to smooth it out, polishing it up to give it a shine, but ALOT better than the silver crap it was before.


Not bad for my 1st time 
New lights!

On with the new
End result with mesh + lights.

light are a good improvement over the chrome's 
can't help but think the mesh should be black though, and the bit of the bumper that was butchered put back on

Saw it at PVS and those lights look much better than standard, and the workmanship thats gone into the body work looked very good.
Hurry up and get those seats in!

I'm still waiting for TopgearUK Nottingham to open, friend of mine from halfords will be manager, so getting spacers and refurb for next to nothing shouldn't be more than a month.
As for the mesh, i don't really want black, it's white all over and stops the look of an 'ALL' black car, so im happy having a little bit of white, matches whats going on in the inside white and black 
As for the seats still waiting for my subframes might order them from somewhere else really want them in before sunday
