Cheers. Mines actually looking like a replica of yours. :D

Garage had to be tidy to get the car off the street. Actually in one of the pics you can kind of see the spare Advanced air dam hanging up on the wall.

Looks neat! That works well together.

It's got that widebody look with the sideskirts.

The Aerotech rear wing is a bit bigger than the factory 3 piece. Were the glass parts the reason why you deleted the wiper and the aerial?

Where's your cooler man, massive big gap and lots of air can been seen through that Redzone bit.

No. Choose to delete the rear wiper to give it more of a smoothed over look to the car. The rear wing came with the recess for the wiper but I had it filled in. Note. No hole was there for the antena.

The car is getting the smaller cooler fitted (450x300 core) should have it back in a week or so.

The guys doing it put a plate at the back and fibreglassed it in and then a flexible filler over the top.

I bought the kit and mounted the solenoids. I ended up getting a guy to run the wiring and put in a new alarm/immobilises. I glad I got him to do it. The install is awesome. I couldn't have got it that good especially the wiring and the grommets. It looks completely factory.

PM me if you want his contact details.

I guess so, but you'll have to import them...

And here is a bit a breakdown of some of the costs I incurred when I imported that last batch of sideskirts from NZ.
