Looks good that. Seems a bit of an oversight to have the stock one a dull black plastic when the rest of the car is as tidy as it is.
I agree, When the rest of the car is trimmed in gloss black, why is this bit in textured grey plastic? Either way, the car is now looking closer to what it should have looked like out the factory. I just have the blades and splitter to go on now.

Did you screw on or Gorilla Glue? I’ve got a Maxton rear valance to go on a pre facelift FR and maxton just said to glue on. Thought they were a bit vague about it

Screwed on, came with a fixing kit. I had to drill a hole on each side into the plastic in the wheel arch. but the other three screw holes were the same holes that were on the car to begin with. In that respect it is attached in the same way the stock one was attached. I will be keeping an eye on the two screws I had to drill holes for as the threads on the screws they provided weren't great. If they start to come lose ill swap them out for bolts.

As mine doesn’t have a diffuser they said it just sticks to the original bumper. I just expected some sort of fitting kit or guide

Cleaned the car yesterday and went out to grab some essentials. Took the camera with me. The car got smothered in flies on a stretch of about 200m of road. Was going along next to a rape seed field. Sounded like I was driving through a dust storm. Grim.
Anyway here is a pic of the back end because the front end, despite being cleaned yesterday, is filthy.
Featuring the new reiger diffuser as well.

Fitted the pedals and waiting on the kick plate to arrive, and got Chipex coming Monday to fill in pesky chips

Fitted the Leyo Charge Pipes - Hands and arms are shredded!

Also got my GFB DVX fitted and gave the engine bay a wipe down!

And to top it all off, swapped the R600 filter on the car with a new one and then cleaned the one that came off the car. It’s clean, dried and oiled up ready to swap over again in a few months.

Attempted a small sunstrip which will be redone by a pro!

One downside...I’ve found the dreaded coolant leak so Progressive Parts will be graced with my presence when this lockdown is over to get it fixed!

mate you got the link to the pedals and kick plate? I would appreciate it

I don't for the pedals as I bought them months ago, but had trouble fitting them. Due to the lockdown I had time so re-tried and was successful. I ordered the kickplate and I bought that from here.

I bought it a few years ago when I had my Blue 290. Think it cost me like £20 from an eBay store.

Only took 20mins to clean - after watching a few YouTube videos I decided to give it a go.

Just ordered some. Been wanting to fit the panel filter @Damo H passed to me and thought I should give it a clean and fit it setting as the car hasn’t moved in two weeks.

Well be fitting my Bonnet Gas Struts too.
