I appreciate your honesty, I was not sure about it while waiting for it, but when I saw it I liked it. It actually look better than the pic show. I will post a better pic soon, but I can also understand that its not to everyone's taste.

I tend agree with you, its like the alu kit I got for the ***** on the dash - its nice but just does not look right plus it will be a hassle when polishing or waxing.

How about this, I think putting it like this accentuate the corners an make the car look wider?
I think the second pic is better the S is a better starting point and the 4 a better end?

The car looks cleaner de-badged, I think.

Almost there, the last bits from Jageng is ready for shipping, the GPS unit is promised to arrive today. Now the only thing not prefect is the roof so the car is scheduled to go in for a new roof next week while I'm taking the wife on holiday to Mauritius.

Just some pics I took recently.

Oops too late for that................ I've put the S2 on the left and the 944 on the right.
It accentuates the corners and make the car look wider and more aggressive - just my opinion but thats the reason why I did it.

The Gps unit still have not arrived but I'm taking her in for a new hat today so when I came back from holiday she'll be ready and hopefully the Gps and Jageng stuff will be here which mean I will be able to finish this project which will then have taken six months, remember I bought her as a birthday present to myself so we're already halfway to the next birthday. If all birthday presents could last this long...........

Aha here it is, the gps unit, the PDC and a waterproof camera (I've gone through three normal ones in the last four months).
I can't wait to install it.

Its really getting ridiculous now, my package from Jagaeng was lost ..........

Remember they first send me a left-hand drive kit, then send me a kit with no hole for the glove-box **** and now the third package was apparently misplaced or lost or whatever by FedEx. Both previous packages had a bar-code that could be traced but this time there is no bar-code so I can't even phone FedEx myself to try and trace it. The Canadian post office tell Veronique at Jagaeng the package is at my local post office but I went there and they haven't got it. Its been two weeks now so we assume its lost.

Every time it take a month to produce the new piece plus two weeks to get it to me, plus now their machines are now being serviced so they can only start fabricating the new piece in December meaning I will not get it before maybe end January 2009. It seems my 44th birthday present will only be finished by my 45 birthday.

I try to buy from jagaeng one time, one of the most horrible transaction ever made. parts take more than 5 week to produce and the communication with veronique was absolutly horrible. I cancel the order and make a claim with paypal to have my money back.

Good luck johan to have your parts for your birthday.
