Modified the original tail lights to look more like the facelift version (chrome inserts to black inserts)
Thanks to KNS customs

Also decided to have the stone chip look on the bottom valences removed for a smooth finish

Freshly baked and out the oven into a cloudy and overcast Joburg sky...

Please excuse the cell phone pics...tried to steal a pic here and there when the sun peeped out a little!

Hey guys,

Another update on the build...
The progress on this project has been a little slow...partly due to slow service providers as well as me having too many projects on the go...but nevertheless we are making progress so here’s a few more pics of the project...

All pics unfortunately cell phone quality as sent to me from panel shop...

The new hood lining and carpets have been installed...

New OEM spot lights purchased...can’t believe how expensive these have gone...was so many available not to long ago from the e30 chrome bumpers...now they seem to be quite scarce second hand..
