Time for a quick update

I got to the panel beaters on Tuesday to have everything fitted. The front went on fine and so did the rear - but when we got to the sides, we realised that I had 2 right side skirt extensions... Doh! Anyway. Spoke to Mohammed and he's organising the left side for me. Will hopefully get that soon and then sprayed soon and then on the car.

She's looking beautiful so far - if I do say so myself! I'm really happy with the choice of the combination of body colour and gloss black!

For some reason I can't upload pics at the moment. Will check back a bit later and post them - either that or I'll try upload them somewhere else and link them rather...

Wow :clapper:

Splitting the colors upfront really has made a huge diff..
Makes the front look much bulkier

Very nice, practically the same as mine, I like what u did with the rear diffuser, also thought of doing that, but then didn't do it, I like that black line that flows from above the splitter through the side with the side decals and then the rear diffuser in black. Those side sills are going make a difference.

Thanks All! I really like the break in colour that the gloss black gives on the front and I'm quite happy with the rear too. I definitely wanted to do something a little different and I must say I'm happy with the result.

The sides should be sprayed by latest end of this weekend. So I'll hopefully have them on either by the end of the weekend or early next week. Can't wait!

LOOKS SWEET!!! I'm considering color codding my diffuser after seeing yours :clapper:

I'm sure it'll look great. I really like how mine came out.

I was also considering going with some other lip, but I just REALLY like the M-Performance! So going with the gloss black and painted lip section was the best compromise I could come up with :)

great stuff. Subscribed. I guess I will start with the vinyls

The car really looks good with them on, so I'm sure yours will too! :)

So - It's been a LONG while without an update. Been crazy busy at work and no time on weekends. But eventually did get the sides on and got a chance to give her a nice wash for some pics. Just waiting on the grills now and the puzzle will be complete...

I must say, I'm really happy with how she's coming together
