And yes I will be upgrading the turbo etc, just doing exterior, interior, engine. But I understand what you are saying.

However yes, will be doing vents, trims etc piano black, got them on order.

Also changing the gearstick, got 1 on order but not arrived yet

I'll let you off then!

How much did the piano black bits cost? I've just had all mine wrapped today, instead. Thought it would probably be cheaper.

So after picking up my rear bumper and skirts from the bodyshop this morning I fitted my missing DRL to the front bumper:



Then I went on to fit the bumper:






And the finished piece below! The lights are not bolted in as I still need to sort out getting the DRL's working



Then it was on to getting the rear facelift lights working, MASSIVE thanks to Niqlai on this forum for help with the wiring, this would of taken me hours without his pictures:







All lights working as they should

Then it was on to fitting the rear end.

This went really well but I did not know the bumper brackets behind the bumper were different and I did not have them So cant actually fit the bumper properly until tue/wed when I can get the part. So that is why the corners are hanging, but you get the idea




If anyone wondered the shape difference between facelift and pre facelift see the below picture. Way off!



But back to the rear end fitting:










Absolutely LOVE the LED rear lights! Will get better pictures when its dark, so happy with them!!

For anyone wondering, every boot trime fitted from the pre facelift boot into the facelift:



And finally, I fitted my steering wheel:




Need to convert the rest of the interior to gloss black now so the trims dont look out of place!

Very long day, but very happy! Tomorrow I am doing my sideskirts with help from a mate. And then I am going to try work out the damn DRL wiring!!

Hope you like

Also your rear bumber doesnt fit as its supposed? Pretty big gap on the picture. But nice mods. Now you need to lower it and buy some nice set of wheels!
