I know and at just over £300 the set rather than over £1500 its an easy choice :D
I wouldn't put them on sports car but should be ok on my slow DI ;)

Its getting closer.

Decided to gloss black the fog surrounds and am happy with the outcome.

Sliding door now fitted and doors are ready for the catches etc to be fitted .
Image

I'm a little worried that the front coilovers are wound right down and i need more lows :(
The rear will drop once its all fitted up and the standard rear hangers are fitted.
Image

I decided to gloss black the mirror bases and door glass trim.
Image

The wheels will probably be having a blue pinstripe painted on the rim

The gloss black works really well with the blue.

Some nice blue BBS caps, which would look good.

Looking the biz Matt, sits really nice too 8) Wasn't sure about the colour but seeing it all done now looks uber 8) . My mate had a caddy this colour-just sold it back to VW-and it never really stood out until l saw yours being modded 8)

Awesome. Such a good project to show off your skills.

I agree though, more lows needed!

The door looks a different colour to the wing. Have they both been painted bud?

just a thought now but blue alli studs might look cool with blue center on the wheels might break it up enough to take away the need to pin stripe

Lots more lows :D
It has all been painted but the door has no catch so is slightly open and also dusty from sitting in the workshop for longer.
