Did a pre-fit of my rear diffuser this morning, prior to the paint job:

Paul (from BodyKitsKingdom) offered to help with the installation and as usual, was getting fussy - only a couple
of mm gap on the corners, but he wanted to do a quick bit of fettling:

The diffuser will be getting rubbed & painted next week and should be on next Saturday!!!

*peace*

I can't.

If I leave it white, I'll start adding red Mitzi badges everywhere!


I'm going to paint it the same colour as the car, so it looks like it 'belongs' - mind you, I saw a car with a matte-silver diffuser, and it looked pretty dam' good...

Your not going to paint it blue?
Paint it Black so it looks like normal
Blue will make everyone look at it and think it looks strange

Strictly speaking, I did this last saturday, but never took photos as I hadn't refitted the head-unit
fascia and dash trim (I was waiting for an LX head unit to test), so thanks to Brendan, Younis et al,
here's my 'new' VRX leather steering wheel and gloss-black trim (and of course, the climate-control: *peace*

Image

Door trim:

(mind you, that gloss finish scuffs easily...)


Cheers!

You got your leather door trims in the end? How's the LX unit? No navi but appears to work for you

Hey Akram!

The MY2014 (maybe MY2013 too) already come with leather door inserts as standard!

No Nav., but works fine; I'm looking at getting a third-party reversing camera installed - someone on here has posted the pin-outs for the back of the head-unit - I don't like the chunky bracket the OEM one comes with, there's some available that go into the spot where one of your number plate lights are, so they're pretty much invisible...

Has your stuff arrived from Younis yet?

:-)

Very serious - keep your unsolicited comments to yourself.

If you want to delete your original post, I'll do the same and we can leave it there...

Nah not yet stuff to Perth takes a few extra days, was hoping Friday so I could put it in over the weekend.

Yeah I was reading the reverse camera DIY the one that goes next to license plate is certainly something to do for the future. I did order my evo spoiler from Mars though :)

Noice!

Is it ready-to-fit, or does it need painting first?


PM on it's way...

Not deleting a thing. It was a Opinion..... Internet has them.It had no malicious intent, but you have jumped right to it being against you.
