Looking good dude. What colour are you going for or is it a secret?

Aww no, just painting it the same colour with a black grill, playing with the idea of doing the inserts in the splitter and rear bumper untied grey the same colour as the wheels but unsure yet.

Sounds like a good plan for the grills and splitters i think  :happy2:

Yeah i think it would tie everything together.  :happy2:

Pretty much perfect! I trailed them on before the car goes for paint and I got them sitting how I would be happy with them. I'd say when there put on after paint there should be no issues  :happy2:

Very nice looking motor, how much was the paint job for the Skirts and rear valance? Did you have it smoothed out before spray?

I'm in exactly the same boat and really want to body colour the bumper and Skirts but don't want a cowboy do it

I painted the whole car apart from the roof, cost me £1200.00 but i worked with the guy for a couple years doing bodywork so hes always been very good with prices for me. Im really please with his work he painted my last car and i was more than happy, only downfall is the car was stinking when i got it back but i dont mind spending a few hours cleaning it anyway.
