SPG Posted October 1, 2012 Author Share Posted October 1, 2012 That would look better than the mirror tints but I'm not a fan of tints tbh...with or without it'll be a cracking looking car! , I reckon the Blitz Spats are the next thing to be removed after the tints. Thank god those horrendous aerials are gone. Made it look like something from Space Jam!!!! Couldn't agree more buddy, but they did produce some wonderful expressions on passers bye when I extended them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SPG Posted January 3, 2013 Author Share Posted January 3, 2013 (edited) First thing i did was give my MVP Lip to Liamsy on here to cut the ears off and coat it in a finish which resembles the OEM Active spoiler blade texture, I was really amazed with the finish and the pics really don't do it justice (Cheers Liam) Almost there, sorry for catching you in the pic Liam Edited January 3, 2013 by SPG (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j_jza80 Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 That looks great Very OEM looking, which most lip spoilers fail at. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SPG Posted January 3, 2013 Author Share Posted January 3, 2013 Thanks Geo Didn't know you had fractured your hand!? How did you do that!? I decided that i was gonna have a quiet Hogmanay with the Wife, she decides that i should put the Christmas decorations in the loft, so off i went up the ladders to the loft, then slip, fall, but no crash!!!! that's cause i was left hanging from the ladders from my hand . So i watched the New Year come in on the way to A&E, managed to fracture my hand in only one place which i reckon is lucky considering, was in and out of the hospital in 40mins, which must be some sort of record, given the occasion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks mate, Liam really should get some sort of Hobbyist account on here as his attention to detail and aim to please attitude would compliment that of the best traders on the site. I have another MVP Lip, which i will be getting Liam to give the same treatment when he get a little time to himself:) Poor pic, but the general fit and finish can be seen: The little white specs are dust in case anyone was wondering Edited January 3, 2013 by SPG (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Westy Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 Lip does look good! I'd get this done of I had one! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SPG Posted January 3, 2013 Author Share Posted January 3, 2013 Next on the agenda was sourcing a Chrome TRD Strut Brace which i got from JohnnyG (many thanks Johnny) Its was a little dirty when i recieved it but i was expecting that due to Johhny having his car Broken, so off for a clean Some polishing and elbow grease applied, can you guess the polish i used I also bought some Wing covers to go with the Brace which needed a buff also: Before: 50/50: Finished: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
