The front bumper looks ace. Must be nice to know the front is in mint condition. Can't beat hyper silver on these wheels. With a nice lacquer finish and a good wax, they'll gleam in the sunshine. Looks great buddy :)

Thanks James, can't believe how much of a difference a freshly painted bumper can do to a car, hense why i keep taking photos as it wont stay like this for long :(
Hyper silver is the only way foward with these wheels, I was going to go dark but thats what everyone else does with red and yellow LCR's

Cheers mate, cant go wrong with silver imo, i remember photoshopping red wheels onto yours a while back and it looked pretty good :D

Grills were about 43 quid from the dealer and that was trade price. Sere should match or better that i think.

Thanks Tom, one of the best things you can do to the car

During the week iv been tackling the front end. Used some fly eye-ish vinyl to darken the the lights a touch. Im done with the front end now, was going to black vinyl the badge but i think the chrome breaks it up nicely.

Comments welcome as always :D
