Not sure on the mirror mate, i'd say it needs a mirror to balance up that number plate relocation!

The splitter looks fantastic though, love it!

I love when this thread gets updated!

Always smart to see what you have thought up next.

Looks good, i like it without the mirror, looks the part
How legal is it though?

as usual...

Front looks so hard now like you say but i'm with most about the mirror, "subtle euro" but looks a bit odd on such a well done car.

Can't wait for bumper to be done

Coldo you only have to have a drivers mirror and one other for MOT so as long as the interior one is there its all good

love the splitter/bumper and the mirror

looking good so far ive been thinking about making up a bumper for my estate but im going to extend it by a couple inches in a couple places so it will still hopefully look factory but just different,im also thinking of copying your high level brake light idea as ive got a spare tailgate and was thinking of putting it above the rear screen

Radders it should not cause a problem as the bumper on it has filler in it plus the splitter stiffens it up a lot
