after only having my new supe for over a week i have already changed a couple of bits. i have replaced the pre-facelift headlights that were on it with facelift headlights and HID's thanks to Robsheffeild and gave them a good clean, and got my new de-cats and RR from shane this morning. its going into the body shop on friday for a couple of weeks while im at work to get the front bumper sorted with the stone chips and scrapes from being so low and getting the ariel removed and filled. Now for the pics :p

The facelift headlights make a huge difference to the front, HID's look cool too. I think I might have to sell my glass headlights and get some facelifts, but it's the messing around with wires I don't want to bu99er up :( I've seen the "How to thread" so maybe I just need to get the balls to do it :D

The car looks very sexy, consider buying an apr splitter for the do luck like mine? Save you alot of money from the damage as mine takes it all.

 

you got any close up shots of it dude? the problem is my street is full of speed bumps :( would it clear them? i scrape as it is just now so have to take them extra slow!

How low mine is:

I also scrape on some bumps, but I drive slow, either way my do luck for 4 years has never been painted. The apr splitter was custom made around my do luck but worth every penny.

I think it was the 2/3 hundred mark as it's an original apr. I bought it more for show but then realized the do luck bumper sticks far out, so it would catch more. So i then measured the splitter slightly out and cut it in half or I could have left it. I bolted it on and since that day it has taken all the damage, but still remains perfect.

have you got a link for it still? wouldnt mind having a look proper, did it stick out far before you cut it? i think it would go well with the gunmetal

Look at lbm's car, mine would have been like that if it was not for the splitter. See how his paint has chipped off, any slight catch or bump can cause that easily

yeah thats whats happening to mine a little bit, just not as bad. maybe i would benefit from some nice carbon aswell lol, have you got link for the splitter mate?

 

**EDIT** just seen the link :)

Worth the buy trust me.

 

how far would it normally come out? would it be ok for speed bumps or is it best to trim it? sorry for all the questions at this time of night/morning lol

 

They make a big difference dont they :)

 

yeah thanks again rob, they came out pretty good aswell after a quick polish up
