And The Front Of Her ( Which Was Harder Than The Back )

Image

AND THEN THE FINISHED PRODUCT ( FOR TODAY )

Image

I Dont know if you can see the difference but its a massive difference!!

i had 2 random people off the street who i have never spoke to give me compliments!

one said she looks brand new! he couldnt believe it was same car!

and a woman asked me to do her car! and said mine looks great!

i f**k the front bumper up trying to debadge it! but doesnt look to bad in the picture!

no, get a GSI spoiler it suits the car better, any other rear spoiler looks terrible and spoils the shape,

Cheers mate! I was thinking on getting a black one?? And keeping it black?

And I'm thinking about tinting the back 3 windows black!

http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B005GDY ... 097&sr=8-2

Will that look poo?

I was thinking because all my trims are black?

That's what I thought anyway!

Can my factory dampers be used on 40mm lower springs all round??
