I like it, the windows are a bit dark for me though.

wheels are different and look very very light - what sort of weight are they?

nice car - there's a steering wheel for sale in the "for sale" section.

The windows aren't so dark as they appear in the pictures. The film i used for tinting is called "reflexive", so when you look from a smaller angle it seems to be darker, that they actualy are.
The wheels are indeed very light. They only weight 6.8kg/piece. This is the reason i bought them in the first place. I also like them very much, because it gives the car an motorsport look.

This week-end i will complete the first custom tail light. I will put some pictures as soon as possible

PS: I want to thank you all for your warm welcome.

Did you tint them yourself?

No. They were done by a tinting company. The film is made by Llumar.

...Roadrunner... could you look under your side skirts and tell me how they are secured to the sill please. I got these skirts on my car, they are secured on the ends - one side two bolts and other slots in. When I got them and fitted them they have two feet about two foot away from both ends that I couldnt work out how they are ment to secure to the sill. I ended up making a bracket and sticking them to the sill. Are there any securing parts on yours that use the origonal mounting holes for the standard skirts?
Cheers

Did you not get the two plastic Z brackets with the sills? The fit over the tabs on the sill and are secured with push on metal clips.

You then glue the sill to the car on the two flat faces of the plastic brackets the flat faces above the jacking covers and along the top edge.

I'll post up the diagrams shortly

You can see the 4 flat mounting points, and where you glue along the top edge.

Got a set of the skirts here and they came with all the mounting parts required.

Yeah I got the Z brackets. When I offered it all up there was a gap that seemsed too large to not need something between them. Looks like I'll be re fitting them direct to the sills. Thanks for the diagram Andy, is that from Elsa? Think I need to be getting me a copy.

I respect your opinion bramley, but i like it more in 5 doors ...
I guess is a matter of taste.
Next week i will put HIDs on the main beam... and white LEDs on position lights. I hope i will complete my tail lights also...
