not forgeting side skirts

its alot of work but i really do want to do it, i have a tale gate and lower spoiler, but i wouldnt fit the lower spoiler as they look shit how they fit near the rear quarter imo

side skirts and rear bumper wouldnt be to hard to find so its something im thinking about

thanks alot mate

sidelights in carbon look weird in my opinion, ive got some at work and they look out of place, might just be the two carbons look different ?!

no no no with the bonnet
