Looking good Kev

Although what were you thinking parking it next to the nasty corroding sea air

Great work - you must be made up with it - looks fantastic

(better with 18" brooklyns - buy mine!)

I quite like the 'urban cammo' look here:

Seriously, it looks excellent!

That looks great. I take it those wheels don't fit over the calipers on a turbo? They really suit IMO.

Good work.

Thanks for all the comments guys ........and nobody has 'mentioned' the rear valance either

I am Very pleased with it It was a guy here in the village that did the work , he is very good at his job and very reasonably priced .....he had the car over 3 weeks , did all the work himself , car was primed and 5 coats of yellow and then 3 of lacqure ,total including material , paint and vat ......£1175
I was expecting it to be quite a bit more really

Just the engine to tidy up a bit now.....then I will be happy......and the wheels are a bit corroded........... and.....

Very nice job!........i think i prefer the picture in your avatar though, it looks sleeker and more ferrari like, it was one of the pictures that actually made me not get my LE kit fitted!!!!!!

No problem
For them to clear the brembos, 20mm spacers are needed

Your car was one of my favourites on here before you had the work done. I think it looks great now but it looked great before.....for me the jury is still out on the bodykit/no bodykit question. Great price for what looks like a fantastic quality job. Enjoy

I still like the look without a bodykit aswell , but my sills had a couple of dents and the rear bumper had badly hacked out exhaust bit and the kit covers it up nicely
