the bodyshop smoothed all the mould lines, and painted the centre slats black.

added the chrome trim. wasnt sure if it was going to look any good, but I think it looks wickd so it's staying!!

will be fitted as soon as I get fogs and a chin spoiler. Then I will be able to cut out these...

They'll be awesome on the car. And that chrome has to stay!

Any lines on the side of the car that would accept a chrome strip?

I can't make up my mind whether to get half colour coded bumpers or not, but it's mighty tempting looking at yours.

Just worried that it might look a little bland on mine, grey and black and grey. Might have to leave the red stripe in. :?

I have plans... :wink:

I think a grey gt with 'coded bumpers would look the bees knees!! I really want a grey one! If I'd had more time to look around when I bought mine, and if I'd known I was going to mdify it, I would have bought a grey one.

Yeah you cant beat a bit of chrome on a car, but I had trouble finsing some chrome inserts for my bumpers (when I eventually fit them) so I've got some chrome windcreen rubber infills designed for classic cars to cut down and use.
