Cheers geez, only drawback is my mates charging me £120 to repair the back and paint it, not exactly mates rates but it'll be worth it

Yeah i'm getting it like the 2nd pic mate with the black, should look awesome when done hopefully :D

Got a Civic Aerial for the back too, i'll up some pics when my bumpers fitted

Looks really good Stezo. Still can't believe how cheap you got that bumper.

You going to gloss black vinyl the bit around the number plate and the lower lip on your front bumper? Would look really good, especially with the back being black as well. :)

if and when you get the exhaust valance for the rear bumper you should consider gettin it painted the same gloss black as the bumper recess so it all ties in. looking good mate, private plate?

Car looks cracking mate

Rear bumper is looking good to! Looks like a glossy black? Sweeet

Cheers mate :D much appreciated, I'm really happy with the paint job, it looks fantastic. It was meant to be matt black but after the lacquer its made it look slightly glossy

Cheers fella :D yeah it was a steal mate, wasn't expecting to pay so much getting it painted but it was well worth it, can't wait to fit it tomorrow

Yeah I have got the valance now mate and I should really get it painted :) it did match fairly decently until the lacquer was applied, now it looks glossy lol. I don't mind though, I think it looks fantastic and I owe you one for suggesting the design, many thanks :D

ah your welcome dude. just spray the bottom bit yourself mate, will cost you like £10-£15 for primer paint and laquer, and some wet and dry, should be easy enough, doesnt have to be perfect as its quite hidden it will just blend it in better. :D

Yeah I think I will mate, i'll see how I get on with it first as it seems to match fairly well so far

As you've guessed its fitted :D it seemed to be a bit of a bugger to fit because of complications, I think it took me about 5 hours to fit all in all

Have you considered the blood red rear lights from the facelifts? Will go well with the volcano red and fiunish off the facelift look, oh and you need aero wipers on front and you're all done!

Cheers fella :D just deciding on what the next mod will be

Its probably going to be gloss vinyl for the front numberplate, then after maybe fogs if I can get 'em for a decent price after that possibly tints but I don't want them too dark so i'm not sure if it's worth it

Hi Jake

Arent the facelift lights white coloured bud? I have considered changing them but I think the current ones are a really good match for the colour of the car, plus the rear lights are pretty pricey to replace

As for the wipers i'm not too fussed about the aero ones buddy, I did consider them but ended up buying Bosch's whisper series for a few quid extra, plus I really like the spoiler on the main wiper :)

No, that's just the FR and Cupra the normal faceluft ones have a darker red, see:

They're slightly darker and might be better match for your colour?

I can't see the picture bud but I've googled it and you're right :) those do look slightly nicer and i'm actually quite tempted now. Cheers Jake :D

Although i'm wondering now if tinting them sllightly would make them look similar?
