Didnt take long for the mods to start lol

Wanted to break up the body colour at the rear so painted the rear diffuser black and also added the number place surround and new plates

And as my interior trim (brushed aluminium)was marked to shit by previous owners i wanted something different for it.So ordered this carbon fabric from the states and here are the results

Lovely car. I like the rear splitter.

Not keen on the plates though.

Liking the carbon stuff, looks good. Do you have a link to where to get it from?
Lovely colour choice as well

Plates and plate surround make it look too "fussy" IMHO ... too much going on. Sorry.

PMSL at Yappstar, I think he's getting at the same thing as me!

Any more details on the cabon fabric? How it's applied etc.

It looks nice, not too shiney like a lot of carbon finishes.

Agreed, a nice set of std plates with your local dealer mark on them.
