hope my opinion doesnt offend u but i prefer it before the work was done.......but then again i like all my cars 100% original...each to their own!

Not bad, prefer the silver of course :wink:

but I like the front bumper, blending in the splitter like that looks well. A lot of other splitters can look 'added-on' Looks pretty low too, any probs with bumps etc?

first jdl kit ive seen painted,blended was the way to go with it m8 looks cool even the sideskirts look a lot better they give it a beefy look

I'm loving the color and I dig the kit (have one sitting in the shed!).

If you don't mind me asking where did you get it done and if you could provide an indication of cost that'd be great too ;-)

Looks good, the rear wing looks a bit out of place IMO.

Agree totally, i think a version R spoiler would be a lot better...

The work on the blending and painting must have far outweighted the cost of the kit. Looks like a very well done job but in my opinion the car would look better with no rear spoiler - keep it clean and Phat looking!

i'd be tempted to go spoilerless!! i reckon with that kit you could pull it off easily!

I'll be going barearsed when I get my kit off..I mean..ON! ;-)

*cough*

Kit really gives the car a nice wide backside which IMO is needed to pull of the bareback look.

I do agree that the spoiler fitted to this particular example looks a bit "halfordy" - but the rest of the car looks great - I really dig the color.

Hey what's really important is this: Do YOU like it?

Well if it was a choice between that spoiler, and none, then I'd be going the None route.
Nice colour all the same. Is that the car that's for sale in Limerick -often parked on Ennis rd?

I had the same problem - I hope Jonathan wont mind me rehosting the images on Imageshack and posting them on the board. BeBo really is a pile of hoo-haa for picture hosting.

Ditto.

I used to think like that once, keep it original... then it was just one mod... then another, then a few more... but its cool, 'cos I can stop anytime I want ya know.
