From those pictures I would have been all hate and no positive but I saw this pic an hour or so ago posted by stevedude so I'd actually heard of this bodykit and know how cool it can look:

Just stay with me people and have faith that's all I ask lol. So the plan for this weekend is to start smoothing out the body work making sure it all looks well...smooth. Not much else I can do till my new air compressor arrives. I will post more pictures of my progress as I go. If any one has any tips or helpful advice go for it.
Also I'm just wondering what kind of replacements are out the for the front upper grille with the badge on? I know there's debadged ones but I'm looking for something different I do like the one on the picture but can't seem to find one. Cheers guys

Quick update...On my day off i thought while waiting for my front upper grill and the paint id do alittle bit on the inside of the car. I thought id change the colour of my dash, iv sprayed it blue before but i thought seeing as im spraying my car white,why not? so heres a few pictures of the progress.
Then I got some new interior bits and went to work on it.
Thats my old blue ones and the new white ones, dont ask me why i did them blue lol i thought it was a good colour at the time.
Fitted.
Then i decided to do the middle section.
So yea might of got abit too carried away let me know what ya think
