Does that fuel door have a high gloss polished finish or is it still a bit dull mate?

Put my lower grille surround and airdams on with the help of my uncle.

Still a bit of exposed sika in places but I'll fix it up when its had a few days :)

Lower grille might be a tiny bit OTT for me but It'll grow on me :)

Bags. It's high gloss. Also needs a little polish because its not 2k clear but the clear is only a day old, needs a few days to harden before I can do that .. (its shinier than the pic ). It has 3 coats of clear. 2k clears are high gloss out of the gun BUT you need a booth for it. The 1k is gloss but needs a little love after its sets BUT you can use a spray can ..
:lol:

once its all wired, try it with the box facing both directions and also straight up (subs facing up)

work out what sounds best to YOUR ear as its YOUR car.

every car is different, some have better acoustics with the subs loading up off the back of the seats.

some sound better using the boot as a 2nd chamber for the subs to load up in.

its not as simple as saying "this way for this reason and thats the only way" So many people think its all about putting the subs facing the boot.

test test test.

I like your grille, Dire. Breaks up the black just nicely. :)

I bought the 2012 Activ and it doesn't come with fog lights, instead there's just plastic moulds there lol. Some have suggested I actually buy fog lights but they're so expensive and I don't need them anyway.
