Hi, the lip is carbon and i'm looking at getting the skirts made. The splitter was imported from the states, not sure of cost as I havent got me credit card statement yet. The skirts I'll let you know once I get a price.
Cheers

Good God, change the scoop and vents they look plain daft against the carbon. The number plate mount could look better too. The rest looks good though.

Why do they look daft?
Fair comment on the number plate, but the small square one I had on fell off, and I've not decided on a replacement.
Personal opinion I guess, I like it.

Just way too much of a contrast. Kind of looks like the Novas that go about with different coloured panels sourced from the scrappys.
Glad you are happy, thats what counts.

Go for a smaller stick-on numberplate, and put it on the splitter, would look good!!!

Well I like it a lot it will be interesting to see the side skirts when they are done... will they be the same shape as they are now or are they a modified shape ? Is it a UK Turbo ? it's difficult to tell
You could just cut the plate down around the letters similar to the design line that is around them now, or a sqaure one evo style over the fog light.

I reckon that a set of anthracite 18s would finish that car a treat
I love the red against the carbon, just not so sure on the gold wheels. Personal taste I know, but I reckon it could be improved greatly with dark alloys

Lovery car mate. The CF really sets of the red paint.
Get some Ultralites on the car as im not keen on BK alloys myself.

Heres a poor effort, but you get my idea about the dark alloys

I agree with v5 man, it just needs some 18" anthracite wheels to finish it off.

Looks aboslutely awesome....

I would colour code the scoop/vents, get the Carbon Skirts and Rear Bumper Trims, maybe paint some of the rear spoiler to break it up then get some 18" Anthracite wheels, possibly with a polished lip and it would be there.

Have always had a soft spot for Mica Red Classics... when they are looked after they look absolutely stunning!!


Cheers,
Grant

That looks awsome mate, i like how youve left the bonnet vents the same colour as the car, cant wait to see the picture's when youve got the rest done.

Have you done much to the engine ?

I would vote for these 18" Bronze Tarmac 2's.... they would compliment each other very well car and wheel.



Not meant to be a plug for the Group Buy but you have to admit that they would look good.
