Hi guys I bought a GSI Front bumper the other day, thinking it was arden blue from the pictures, it however turned out to be a darker blue! So the other day I, sanded, primered, painted, and gave it a coat of lacquer. so my car went from looking like this:
to this:
what do you guys think?
As the Gsi front body is completely colour-coded i decided to paint the arches, and rear bumper yesterday, however i've broken some of the clips on the arches, any help or advice would be great! 
Some more pictures of the car:
You can see from the picture above, why i want to colour code the arches! also, once some gsi or irmy side skirts come up on this site, il buy them

Looks good, but definitely get a GSi splitter IMO
Edit: I usually tiger seal my arches, well I did when I snapped a bolt on my old arden GSi rep
