bought some turbo side vents for £100 painted in anthracite.. very good quality paint job aswell!

anyway.. here is my day so far.!

got them home and took a pic to show reflection best i could.


wheel came off and wheel arch.


the thing im holding in my hand it the bit you have to cut off.


now this was the scary part, prising and ripping the plate off.


test fit.. all good.. little bit needed taking off the vent fo a flush fit.


still test fit, bt door shut


and that was it. some finished shots.






i am iching like a bastard now from all the fibreglass!!

all in all... good job i think

next on the list is a turbo spoiler in the same colour.. then the wheels dark anthracite if not black, then the filler cap is going to be black anodised, and im gunna get a black surround for it when my windscreen cracks.

Looks great Chris

As said, black/anthracite wheels and fuel filler cap... what about windscreen surround and matching mirror covers?

You can paint the window surround pretty easily with the glass in, would improve it to no endm especially when you get the wheels done as it looks a bit mix and match at the moment
