Got the car back yesterday following a bit of a makeover. It needed some TLC after my brother-in-law had an argument with a grass bank on the way back from Le Mans, involving repairs to the front PU, new fog light, new front undertray and a new rear PU. He was paying for it and he's a bit skint so I felt honour bound to get it one as economically as possible. After pricing up the front undertray (3 piece from OPC) and the new rear PU I decided to go for an RS rear centre section and a front splitter which were considerably cheaper. I also decided to change the flags for Cup mirrors at the same time (at my cost) and instead of replacing the front fog changed to brake duct scoops. A small rust patch on the rear quarter where it meets the bumper was also remedied (at my cost whilst the spraygun was out).

I'm not convinced by the splitter or the scoops (or the RS centre section for that matter) so I'm a bit dejected at the moment. I really like the cup mirrors though. It's somewhat taken away my excitement for getting all the bits of bodywork sorted, but I'll probably get used to it. I think a set of clear indicator lenses might help. Part of me wishes I'd kept it all standard - but it's a bit late now

What's the verdict?

I like the rear centre section - I am getting one of those after a very gentle argument with a van last year (yes, insurance does take a while doesn't it). I also like the ducts - I will get those when my fogs are more damaged, and the splitter to me looks fine as well. Love the colour of the car as well.

Personally I'd have gone for a different front splitter but I think your car looks good.

Rob,
it look's great to me! I think it will grow on you after a bit.

Rob,

The rear end looks very good indeed. Actually, I think it looks better than the "original". The cup mirrors are another improvement that makes the car look much younger. I agree that clear indicators would finish off the face-lift in great style. I'm saving up for a pair myself.

The front needs a bit of gettting used to, but it is none the worse for that.

I think you have a great loking car.

Rob,
IMHO it looks the part - the only thing I am a bit sceptical about is the front lip spoiler - everything else looks just great!

Best regards

P.S. Have you considered replacing your orange indicators with clear?

I think it looks badass, front splitter, mirrors, center section and all. I'd leave it just the way it is, maybe get the centers of the wheels done in the same color of the car and have the crest on the caps detailed up real nice.

Have same colour as you, when I swapped the D90´s for 17" twists, I also did clear lenses, and the clear lenses makes a hell of a difference (almost more than the wheels), so in my opinion, a cheap but visually very effective mod on a dark car.

Rear section: Looks great
Aero mirrors: Looks amazing
Splitter: Somewhat neutral
Brake ducts: Look great (great color match)
Upgrading to clear lenses?: Will look perfect!
