Cheers!

Quality of the diamond is spot on; very impressed!

Was originally going to spray my original diamond anthracite, but going carbon just seemed that bit cooler. Need to have a look at the rear diamond now too I think, see what can be done with that

Looks mint! I have a silver 172 cup and want one. How much did it cost?

Chris J · Nov 3, 2009

Fletcher · Nov 4, 2009

Yes Oliver i do have a K-tec CF spitter. it's covered over 40k now and has had a few meeting with low kerbs, so has had better days TBH.

I had a cf bonnet on my last car; that didn't like stones either!

Only had it on the car for a couple of weeks and after a few motorway miles it had already started to pick up a few little chips

You rough arse with the colours of benneton cable ties

Lol :rasp:

Would it not look a bit cleaner if you don't look at the break on it and give it a coat of lacquer ?

The lacquer will darken the stone chips and they won't stand out as much

Fletcher · Nov 4, 2009

^^^Yes mate, gotta love the zip-ties ghetto fix

TBH it does look better now Dicky, after i giving it rub with some wet & dry.

Problem get a new one next spring/summer anyway.

Following on from this thread, I ordered a carbon front splitter from K-Tec yesterday

Front end does look lost at the moment without any splitter, so fingers crossed it will be here soon

Fletcher · Nov 11, 2009

^^^^good stuff. They finish the front end off nicely IMO.

I'm going to get another one fitted next spring-summer!

Decided on the gloss finish, to match the diamond :approve:

I'm assuming it either uses original mounting points or it's a self-tapping screw jobbie?

You get self tappers with the splitter mate.
