Don't really like them tbh. I think they look a bit chavy if they wasn't on the car as standard
Quick update:
Just got back from cambridge seat after ordering the two front fog light grills for the fr bumper and also came away with the LCD splitter
excited to get this fitted, fog light grills should be here Saturday so then the spraying can start also hopefully going to order a set of apex 35mm lowering springs from Damien at dpmperformance.

Never heard of fitting an LCD splitter? Is that so people can watch tv as they drive past you?

Dad took bumper to work today to give to his mate for spraying, been told it will cost less than £100 and should get it back in a few weeks as he is going away for a week. Also got the best news I have had for ages. I am getting a christmas bonus (not had a pay rise or bonus in the last 4 years) in January's pay of roughly £550 I think the car will eat up most if not all of that in a few days lol. Exciting times ahead

Coz I have more plans lol, the kei force 10's are going green lol, and I still need to buy the fog lights, also thinking of getting a seat sport rear number, side skirts and spoiler
Will you redo your rear light tints?
I have been told by some friends to get my rear 3 windows tinted. but I cant make my mind up!
You will like the Apex 35mm. The car will sit quite nicely!

Yeah the light tint will be done on the back ones again also the headlights and the fog lights. I would recommend getting your windows tinted especially if it's a black car. Yeah the springs will probably be fitted after Christmas by a friend for £75 ,

Yeah, I got mine done at a local garage for about the same.
Mine is a 5 door car. (check my RR), so I'm not sure on it.

Yeah if the car is black then tinted windows always look good, I went for as dark as possible lol
Get them tinted dude, Apparently the small window is plastic so they can't use the bake-on type of tinting on that piece.
and while you're at it, get the B pillar and the triangle of plastic on the rear doors wrapped in gloss black. smartens the side up imo (check my RR)

Just seen it. I like the idea, but I think that because of the wrap, it will be smoothed. I Don't generally like it when things are smoothed.
Such as colour coding the interior. The plastic pieces have its own moulded pattern on top. To sand it down and spray it I think ruins the design. But that just me!
I think that the B pillar looks good with some decent trim restorer.
On another note about the windows. I don't want to go to dark as reversing will be a bitch at night.

I can say that I thought that before I tinted the windows to the darkest the bloke had, that I wouldn't be able to see in the dark to reverse, but actually it's not to bad at all, just need to use your wing mirrors more to judge how far back you are. With the rear window being as dark as I could get it really helps at night with people who either dont turn their high beam off when behind you or are to close to you because you then don't need to keep dipping the rear view mirror
Hey, yeah I can get pics of the interior but I can't/dont know how to upload them using my iPad. I have few little bits coming over the next week. I have ordered my fog light kit which should be here sometime this week. I will upload pics of the car and the bits I have to go on the car next weekend after it has had I bloody good wash lol.
Btw hope everyone had a good Christmas
