Looks stunning mate. Makes me miss mine

That splitter makes the front end on these IMO, they get chipped to hell so be prepared to be pissed when you see the first mark I was raging when it happened to mine

Take the front lights out and get rid of the orange lenses l, makes a massive visual difference especially on your colour car coupled with the carbon splitter

It's a bit of a nightmare to do. The glue that holds them together is like blutak lol. Don't use new stuff just heat the old gear a bit then reseal for a few hours, job done. The hardest part for me was taking the bumper off as the splitter has loads of twist hold clips onto the undertray. Little tip use a lift or pit if possible and leave fitting the splitter till then.

Yeh as Sean said, we'll be cracking on with this soon. I know the front bumper is a little fiddly but its been off twice already so I know what to expect

Update:

The side sills and front splitter now all fitted! The sides were nice and simple but the front splitter was a little more tricky. Should've done it with the bumper off but never mind! Heres the pics, very please with how it looks now!

I'm actually not sure if I like that front splitter you know, I want to like it as I love carbon but it looks so 'chunky'? Love the skirts though

As you will know, I was having some grief with my XP8's and they're just about ready to be dumped due to heat damage. When I posted the thread up Capt. Mike kindly offered to send me through his PF.11's that he didnt want. Theyn still have plenty of meat on them and only cost me the postage! Happy days! Thanks again Mike :smthumbup



More carbon fibre! Got this Varis carbon gearknob and dial surround. Will be fitting this weekend. Big thanks to Rick @ Carbon Goodies for a real deal!

[QUOTE=L16JAY;4253886]UPDATE:

Merry Christmas one and all! Been busy today with some bits for the MR. Firstly fitted my Varis Carbon gear knob and dial surround. Gear knob sits a little too high for my liking but still, cool all the same.





Also as we had some dry weather, I decided to treat her to a good clean. I used Meguiars clay to remove contaminents. The boot lid was horrible :blah:



We were getting there:



Then after a nice coat of Meguiars Ultimate Wax, she now looks up to my high standards :naughty:













I've been known to keep my cars clean but the main reason for it today was to prep her up for use with my birthday gift. My Mum and step Dad kindly got me this Premier custom made indoor cover and now she's tucked away all warm! The craftsmanship is amazing and the quality is fantastic.

That looks superb. Love how it's moulded round the wing mirrors.

Get those headlights detango'd. A set of US spec read lights would look great as well.
