I'll hopefully get that and the splitter done tomorrow, or over the weekend sometime. :)

Yeah! Need to arrange photos and the diamond mate. :approve:

Sorted. :D New carbon splitter and headlight washer blanks were sorted this afternoon.

Just need to leave the washer blanks to dry properly overnight before tidying up the silicone neatly around edges.

It's easy as pie mate, few bolts here and there and it's straight off, give it a go, the main bolts that hold it on are in the arches, then take the bolts off the front arches, remove the black plastic grill under the bonnet away and it basically pops out. Really is easy

Hmm not a fan of the blanks if I'm honest, with those and the bonnet catches it just looks like random black stickers!

Tek'em'off!

Thanks guys! It will have carbon wing mirrors some time soon.

I'll most likely order a few bits at a time. Overall however, they'll be rear diamond, rear bumper trim, bullets, mirrors and dash strips. :)

Completely blown away by the quality and finish of the Streamline stuff, really good imo.

I love this car, but i have to agree. I think the catches and carbon blanks is too much. if you lost the blanks or the catches it would look awesome. Might look better in person.

I need to start looking for a new head unit soon too, as mine is playing up a bit! :(

It's an expense I didn't want, but can't be helped I suppose; I've had the existing one for around 3-4 years now.

Timed it right with the weather and gave the car a clean today. (It's now raining seriously heavy!)

Hopefully tomorrow if the weather is alright, I'll give the car a going over with the DA polisher again.

Tucked away in the garage clean for tonight though;

Lush!

I always think pictures rarely do carbon stuff justice as opposed to seeing the car in the flesh but that shows it off pretty nicely indeed.

Would have been nicer to mimic the plastic mesh on the bottom grill.

Instead of essentially having 3 different style grills on the front of one car.

Thats a great idea! Ollie get yourself a second hand lower grille and chop it up to fit behind the fogs...

Hmm nice idea, but I can't see the lower grill plastic looking right in the fog light holes. I'm really happy with how my super duper ripspeed mesh looks lol! :)

Also, to update in here, today I decided to get the DA polisher out; it's been just over 3 months since it was last done, so it was about due.

I washed yesterday with dodo juice supernatural shampoo, then today cracked on with polishing and waxing.

As before, I used the Menzern polishes again. I did a couple of passes with a polishing compound (PF2500) on a polishing pad, followed by a couple of passes with a finishing compound (SF4000) on a finishing pad. Then, I used a couple of waxes; Dodo Juice light fantastic, followed by Dodo Juice Supernatural.

Really happy with the results, it's produced a deep shine (especially considering it's a silver car) and should give loads of protection from the waxes too.

I think it's the best results/finish I've had from detailing the car tbh! :D

And, as posted elsewhere, in the underground carpark at Waitrose earlier today. :) Great lighting down there for photos.

The quality of the splitter is fantastic, like any item from Streamline really. :)

It must be fractionally slimmer than the K-Tec splitter, as I can get up my drive without scraping now! :D

Looks Great Ollie, Really fancy some Bonnet Catches for mine but -

1. My Bonnet is dented to fook
2. I have not got the balls to cut holes in my bonnet.

Im ditching the Carbon bits on my car I think, Splitter is ruined by stone chips, I dont like the Rear Bumper insert anymore and my Fog Light surrounds came unstuck LOL (Although I may keep these.

That last pic is pretty awesome. Wasn't too sure on the carbon washer blanks on a silver car but seems to work really well.

The metal on the bonnet is pretty thin actually, meaning it's pretty easy to cut through!

Luckily, an aerocatch replaced a dent on mine haha ;)

As said before the car look great and as you say I think the mesh for the fog's looks great :)

It's a shame I had to buy so much mesh. They only did it in one size, so I've got 90% of it left! lol

I think I'm slowly getting better at detailing and using the DA polisher. I'll give it another go in a few months. :approve:
