Just started raining really hard so no more pics today I'm afraid . I do have some pics from further back from before if you do a search on my posts. Just didn't have the Lights and Ducts done then. I would be interested to know when you decide if you like it or not

Nice eyelids IMO! Subtle and not in your face. I like the colour too.

Vinyl? Matte grey?

The FMIC grill and the Kidney grills are both "Race Mesh" in Black powder coat. I really like them

Notice how there is not plastic in the way restricting the flow to my Forge FMIC

LOL! Nice one.

The pics were so huge they only loaded 1/4 on my iPhone. Just got on the PC and i see the lower "chin" brow?

I think it would look better without the bottom brow, just the top Just my opinion

Thanks, I was playing with a few ideas with black electrical tape to see what it looked like. I am unsure about the bottom ones too, but hey...they peel off I recon I will be getting some CF ones I have seen that are almost identical to the Mattig ones and they only cost £39 + shipping..

Can we get pics of your car at different angles?

For the lower area where the brakes get cooled.. I am guessing your cut the pieces off like another member? Ever thought bout remove the piece entirely and using the mesh? I was thinking of that..

If you do a search on my posts you will see photos of my car from all angles so you can get a good look at the "stance" with the Advan RS wheels too .

I also thought about removing the whole plastic assembly in the brake ducts and putting the "Race Mesh" grills in there too but to be honest I think it would be too much mesh and the "open" look is far more aggressive IMO. Also, the air would get in everywhere without the scoop assembly and means water too, so I recon I will leave them as is at present.

OP.. did you just cut the part where the slits were for the brake dust? Did you sand the parts you cut so its smooth as I can barely notice them.

I cut them with a fine hacksaw blade (out of the frame) and then gently filed the area I cut them from. I need to go back and finish them off as I didn't actually do much as I was short of time. They looked pretty good as soon as I had cut them to be honest.

When you say out of the frame you mean you removed that piece.. cut it then put it back? The piecen means the entire plastic unit? Is it alot harder to do it without removing the plastic unit from the brake duct area?
