Not a big fan of the front bumper and the mirrors but the rest is nice.
Did you smooth the tailgate yourself?
Is the rear bumper one you have done yourself or is it a part of a bodykit?
Just done my rear end so interested. :evil:

Yeah really like them. I like the whole car minus the boot. Thought about smoothing out the front bumper?
