Have a few minutes to spare so said I'd put up 2 pics. They were taken a few months ago after a resto. It has virtually all new panels bar the roof skin + bootlid. 100% dent free :D

Any Q's or comments welcome :)

I know, the exhaust needed a rubber to hang it right; it got it soon after.

That is AWESOME! But it looks like the paint is a bit flat? Maybe just the light?

Mine were fully refurbed in that colour when I bought them. Put up a picture of your's for comparison...

The original colour is nice too you see. I'm undesided about gold bolts as well.....is it too bling...and expensive..

Have you got the gold bolts?? Doesn't look like it. I thought about this too, but I'm unsure. I'm looking at having the centers refurbished this winter and I really cant decide on a colour.

Here's mine. (and for you oem homos, no the mirors are not still on there!!)

That looks nice alright!! No I don't have gold bolts, but I'm considering it, I wasn't very clear in the last post. I was looking back through your threads for pics and saw how you made up a front splitter. I was planning on doing it with a different material, but what you used seems ideal. I was even eyeing some up here at work winkeye

Got home to Ireland for a few days and got to fit the few bits I'd gathered in the last year...

Looks like a different car now. Was trying out different color stripes, so excuse the variation..

New additions
- CF DTM mirrors
- CF Rear Flap
- Roll Cage
- CF Brake ducts
