5 good old black silicone to hide the gap, doesnt show up well in phone pics though, looks better in the flesh!!

good job bud, lookin good

 

[makavelli]

looking good matey!

have you cosidered having the air feed behind the upper grill instead of the lower grill, as this would supply the same amount of air but with less distance to travel (and less corners/twists in the feed)

 

[dutty_112]

nice mate! u got the rear on? was it an arse to fit or piss like i said

 

[Christopher]

looking good fella.

needs a splitter and some coilover action now.

 

[Jamie _Swales]

looks good, no sure about the silicone though

 

[JD]

cheers for the comments guys . . .

makaveli - im not sure why i thought it would be best there but i did think about it, but it is open to the upper grill anyways as well. will see how it goes, may make it a double shorter one to the upper.

Immi - yeah was a piece of p155 mate, easy enough once i had everything together like nuts an bolts, arch liner on the drivers side is not great so i may need a bit more editing maybe if i see something on ebay or here. rear needs painting and a bit of plastic welding, plus the trim buying for it but wil be on next week me thinks!

carbon copy - yeah coilovers or something similar are next on the list i think, depends on the student loan

you mean the blue bit? or the actual plate? its a hill power all in one jobby that i bought off a lad off here (mattsclio). but would presume you can buy stuff separate.

mofo mate what the hell have you taken out of yours? compared my car to a mates 1.8 focus on weight and bhp per ton, and wanna see how close i can get. i wanna start to do some unecessary stuff stripping!!

[Timmay]
