with the taillight overlays, if you plan to do it yourself, just be EXTREMELY patient with it. even so, you might still get bubbles after a few weeks there are lots of instructions on how to do it yourself.

my suggestion is get it done professionally and be done with it forever! (probably not going to cost an arm and a leg anyway)

^^ That is the plan exactly!

Not going to attempt this one myself and be left with a cheap job, I'll wait to hear back from Gav.

Another step along, exhaust fitted. Ultrex stainless steel system, camera mic isn't the best but it sounds really nice in person. Didn't want anything too loud after having a loud as fuck 02 before this, but I really like this sound. Nice boxer rumble but not overly loud.



Also fitted eyelids but no pics of that yet, short shifter + shifter bushings go in tomorrow and overlays are booked in to be put in on Friday. All coming together

Not sure if I'll keep the carbon fiber finish, but so far so good. Definitely liking the new back end. Will have to get rid of those badges as well.

Seems like the overlays are going bad already, noticed a lot of peeling and bubbling at the edges which everybody I know is noticing as well as me.

Attached a pic to show, but only off of phone camera. It's the same on the other side as well.

They were professionally installed a week ago so I have sent an email to see if it can be fixed.

Invidia N1 Ti catback fitted and damn this thing is loud, but it's a nice low tone with the boxer rumble. Much more audible than the old Ultrex system I had fitted to the car.

Also have new wheels on the car, but everyone would have seen that from my posts in other parts of the forum.

Coilovers next week as well!

Exhaust: (Camera microphone actually understates the noise a little)
