The new one!

Above that, Ive never liked the chrome, would never do it on MY car, but on the black, it might look fairly decent. I.e. the RA looks crap with that chrome edging around the whole front.


Not a huge fan either.... but with a black car the accent really has to be a contrast - which means light colours.... I've tried colours and CF patterns with Red and blues, and I kept coming back to a light blue/grey/silver combination of something...
Chrome/reflective silver will be to much... but a silver CF or even half-tone paint type fine texture would be good I think....

The idea of baking the headlights scares me just ever so slightly....

Still scaring me too..... I spoke to Blanka the other day about his, which are up and running btw... **Piccies please

He thought it was a bit easier than he expected, but still needed to be careful...

I'll probably wrangle my Cousin-in-Law to help me - He's a Fitter and Turner by trade....

Good idea, I might ask my neighbour to help me cause he owns a bakery.

Black out as much as you can, especially a matte black. Go for some front pods if you can too IMO.

Turn it into a batmobile!

Btw, from the M5 boards

Yes... seen that.... **and manipulated/shopped into the grill in my image above.... :wink:

Can't justify $190 USD + shipping to Oz for a bit of trim covered in Carbon Fibre.... You can get them OEM from the dealer for less than that....

Not sure I like it yet anyhow.... Just mucking about with the limited $$ I have to put into it....

But what about the uber awesome weight losses!!!

Heh, I think I've seen some full CF doors on ebay for about 1.5k a corner. Thats hardcore.

Wouldnt mind a cheap fibreglass front lip though (stock lancer front is already a little low)
