Isn't too bad - basically what you see is what you get - There are no hidden fixings at least for the front - Havn't done a back so don't know

- Ah now why would Racer have his front bumper off - Intrigue from the TVR camp thats what we like

I've been using my nail file to shave off a few mills from the bumpers - I reckon I could save about 2 grammes if I'm lucky

So how did the painting turn out? You paint, the arches, a body kit, or the entire car?

I'm personally interested in painting the entire car. Isn't that much to paint really
Dark cherry, or a black metallic over midnight blue pearl.

Any pics yet?

My car sits "naked" in my workshop... still awaiting the plasic-arches to be painted and for some small clips etc. to arrive from my dealer.. (they *will* break when the sill-covers are removed.)

Pictures to follow

some nasty person decided to drive through my wheel arch, luckily only damaging the plastic bit, simply bought a new one for about £6 from my dealer and literally yanked the old one off and stuck the new one on... really easy just grab it and yank it straight off... Ohhh and I didn't break any of the clips so I don;t know what that person earlier on this thread was chatting about...
