The latest set of pics with the new brakes fitted, it has had its final polish but the weather's a bit cr@p so I've not given it a wipe since I drove it back. When the weather improves I'll get some proper photo's...

I'd blended the rear spats into it so I couldn't remove them to fit to another bumper

They were re-sized during the upload to 800x800 so I don't know why everyone is having issues

But yes, red K-sports would look spot-on

Looks great, like the subtle touch of using the blob lock as well. I was not fussed about the bumper though when I did mine
