Here they are, few pics from last night after fitting them at 10pm

They're stunning and my cars letting them down so the next aims are:

Back bumper - Airdam smoothed or ' ? '
Rear lights - irmscher/mhw or south africans
wider arches
semi-smooth boot with spoiler smoothed in
Smooth front bumper
Smooth arches and skirts into body
Maybe extend the badboy bonnet
De-rub strip it
Sort the dinks and crease out which is badly letting the car down
Little more smoothing and Re-spray (haven't decided on a colour yet though)

ANY SUGGESTIONS ARE ALWAYS WELCOME

I know yeh, when it stops raining and I have a bit of time I'll polish her, find a decent spot and get my camera out instead of my phone to get some proper pics

Few little updates that I forgot to show :

Alpine Headunit - CDA-9885R , bought for £67.00 when halfords was moving across the road. I love it and makes a helluvva difference

Bought a vibe sub and tidied the boot (screwed down now, ignore the tools)

Isotta pedals, again from the halfords sale for £3.55

Richbrook Door pins from GregGsi on here (thanks a lot mate)

and thats all folks!

fair do's

yeh it makes a big difference doesn't it.

Ive got the steinmetz skirts, think I prefer your splitter to mine! I got the irmscher splitter cheap from a mate so I'll probably make a profit If decide to change it

Have you got a pic of the rear bumper?

Looks really good!

I'd consider smoothing the swage line in the top of the front bumper and maybe remove the rub strips!

I'd smooth the splitter in to the bumper aswell as the swage line.

Head's getting big here with all these comments.

Yup both your ideas were already in the plan, glad you agree with it!

Don't know whether to smooth the number plate recess or splitter into the bumper, What do you think? Definitely wanted at least the swage line smoothed

Shame I haven't got photoshop to have a play around with

Think I've decided on a steinmetz bumper but smoothing the swage line off and I reckon I'll be after these rear lights. Wanted irmscher or MHW's but they seem a little common now so I'm tempted to fork out for these when I get paid -

What do you lot think?
