one question, your grill was that standard.. looks diff to mine ?

the debadged one??? basically its 2 standards grills, i had to make it up myself. cut the S out them then cut out the honeycombe to cover the gap. Can be a bit of a ball ache but i think its worth it :)

so i sprayed up the little ring around the gear knob, and gave the gear knob and steering wheel with a bit of shoe polish so looks nice. Had the drivers wing resprayed after some lovely person drove into it when it snowed. And I'm now in the process of spraying the glovebox handle and the front window switches AND I'm gonna be picking up the front fogs after having them tinted yellow and installing LEDs in them :)

Ravi do you know if there a hids kit available for the fogs too?
I have 6000k dipped beam, and ideally id like 6000k fogs or is it just a case of throwing on some bulbs..

Now that you've mentioned it I may do it myself haha but yeah you can get kits for that I think they would be h3 kits but I'll double check. I'm not sure if you can get them off ebay but I know you can get them from hidsdirect. The only problem with that though is trying to find somewhere to mount the ballasts so may turn into a bumper off job :-\

Cars coming along nicely mate.
What wheels are these? Look a bit like RS4 reps? Think they'd look ideal on my ovni in anthracite..just need the car sprayed first haha.

Also, ever thought of crystal black side repeaters? Think they'd clear your wings up nicely, dead easy to fit too.
