Got it mot'd and taxed, just waiting on to get insured as a learner. Anyway was waiting on my old man finishing the office stuff at work tonight so ended up going around taking pictures Also got a Sportex cat-back since my standard system with welded backbox was ****ed.

Speedlines need to stay white! De-wiper and de-badge next? Are you planning on any Gsi sideskirts or anything?

Fresh plates look swish.

Remove tints and get some bumpercare on the plastics and it'll be spot on imo

Coming along really well mate but get the heatgun on the bumpers/botlid handle then finish off with some form of back to black. It's amazing the difference it will do
