Looks nice and shiny but it's always had too much going on for me.
There's loads of 'bits' and joins etc everywhere.

I tend to think the same.
I'd lose the petrol cap, front splitter (maybe), bra, wind deflectors, and debadge the boot inc sticker.

It's a half way house for me.
It could look good but it is too 'mix and match'.
Bonnet bras are for faggots with Golfs.
That petrol cap is damn right awful, as are the mirrors.
I don't get the rear sticker (which also looks awful) as it isn't particularly low.
I do like the black arches and rear spoiler though. The spoiler especially looks far better than it would coded.

Are they standard facelift headlights with inserts painted? Or completely new lights?

Sorry for sounding harsh, but there's not actually anything you've done to that car, that has improved its looks imo.
It really is just a mess of parts that don't match and random colouring.
Sideskirts, rims and grille would look nice if everything else was standard.

They're my old lights. Standard facelifts split and painted satin black, then the ring round the projector painted in liquid aluminium (apparently according to my mate who did them lol)
Cars looking good James, but jesus mate, you'll never get your new car if you keep spending!

I split them, and they were a coont 150 degrees in the oven for around 30 mins, then work way round with knife and flatblade screwdriver and prise them open. Then my mate who sprayed them used some sealant he had at the bodyshop and remelted the existing stuff too

Being OEM or irmscher doesn't automatically make it good.

Really like that. Only thing I think i'd do is have that lower lip smoothed in (not the lowest splitter) to the top half of the bumper. And get some nice big brakes behined the wheels
Bra is a good idea. Nice fit, but the name ruins it

The mirrors are toss. You cannot tell me the minging fuel cap cover is OEM? It looks like it's from Elephant-Man-Motorsport.com. It's ugly as sin.

yeah the name is cough cough! but it has been there for the diblas flowmaster sooo
the bra is only on cause the bonnet was getting stone chipped badly had enough!
yeah would love to get things smoothed here and there but its more £'s saving for a rs6 at the mo! can't justify any more funds on it cept small things!

Looks nice that, dont like the eyebrow bits on the headlights tho, really tacky imo would look so much better without them.
Darker wheels would look great to.
