passenger side is genuine i couldnt get the drivers so ive modded the driver side one its come out ok in all honesty so i might as well leave it or if i get a drivers somewhere along the line might just fit that so at least its all genuine.

Will be really good-looking with those 17" alpinas, but those lights (head and rear) don't fit the looks

hi jonsku thanks for your comment, the lights were a bit 'boring' so decided to go for something a little different, once its all together it will look completely different and everythign will look in place, its personal preference really i suppose.

Looks like a quality retrim there, suprised you went for a 3-tone interior with the red, black & cream, 2- tone would have been more simple & clean.
Still top marks on the car as a whole, stunning!
PS: Shadowline dechrome needed asap!

i wasnt too sure on the shadowline in all honesty, the chrome stands out and looks well polished up,
going for 2 tone/3 tone was a tricky decision but decided to stick with black on the outsides in the end, easier to keep clean.

re trim wasnt too bad seats and door cards £850 guy realised it was on the cheap side when i went back to collect and was being a bit funny but a deal is a deal end of day so i paid him as agreed and left him with a big strop on his face.
