yesh darker mesh looks much better IMO, i don't like silver mesh on red cars either

i think if you had the mesh slightly darker it would break the front up abit and give it more definition, cause i bet from a distance it looks like one big red bumper...

sorry to be a lil negative, but i love your car

No mate. not at all, I appreciate the comments. I'll have a chat to the bodyshop and have a think about it. If I can get to the mesh without takin the bumper off then I can spray it myself.
Had red mesh on the R&A bumper and it looked OK on that. It was a bigger mesh tho. That could've made the difference.
Cheers tho mate

dont know why but those angel eye quads really dont look right. think it might be because there not in the centre, but something deosnt look as good as normal quads do .

Do like the front bumper though, well the whole car really. Saw it at maxpower [and you, i think :boggle], and it looked spot on

The lamps are smaller than morretes so the enclosures are smaller too. They weren't designed to be an exact replica of morretes. They were designed to look different. I think they just take some getting used to.
Also, the indicator wont be as it is in the pic, that needs sorting, and the recess next to it will be filled in.
Glad you like me car tho chuck
If you see me at Trax, let me know who you are. We can have a proper chat then yeah?

Much better than the old one, the R&A one looked a mess, too much little bits going on.
Now its kinda semi-cluttered.

still don't like the lights...

TBH preffered the R&A but thats just personal choice, I still think the front looks spot on, and probably better for the look you're going for.

As for the mesh i'd go for black, front needs splitting up a bit and black mesh wud do that imo.

But top motor...for a girl (joke)

Yeah ajs is now the proud owner of me old R&A bumper.
Rev Bob is a scary character up close mate He wanted to show me what he had under his robe
I'm showing with maxdcarclub, but I'll be at Billing with the cs posse Sat night
I'll be getting a standard reg plate on the front. Nothing on it but the reg
Still dont know about the mesh tho. Its looks OK when you see it proper rather than in a pic

Not bad for a girl

Nah me neither-but defo mucho better than the other one. I think black mesh would look great too instead of the red mesh, but I'm not a fan of color coded mesh tho. Car looks luurvely and glossy too

And is it me or do the headlights look rather odd?
