Fitted this yesterday. Not entirely happy with it as it cracked on application. Tommorows jobs are painting the callipers, wrapping the headlights and if ive time im going to do the big mouth grill mod and put honeycomb on the three vents on and around the badge.

Nice. I need a catch can too.
Like the badge.
With the rear light Why not use it as a stencil then you can have it look mint at no extra cost?

What a day!!! So ive painted all 4 calipers.
Not a bad job for a 1st try!
Wrapped the headlight on the second attempt. Near perfect. Went to wrap the second and it broke all the way down the middle. Not enough left to repeat so ive had to remove the 1st one. Sprayed my painted badges with clear coat and it melted them.
Oh and my battery died :banghead:

Them calipers will look awesome behind the wheel, I wanted blue on mine but then I though it would be too much blue haha

You've had your 3 in a row now with the lights, decals and battery. Get it charged or get another one in and ride it out till next year all will be well!

Have a drink

Happy New year

Cheers pal and happy new year to you too. Way ahead of you, on my second!! Battery only died because id left key in for steering lock and the door hadn't closed all the way. Rookie mistake. Oh well, looking forward to showing her off and hopefully il have cleaned the engine bay by the 5th ha ha

That is going to look even better when you have the wheels done black.
