Gary, in a blatant attempt to copy you, where were the red seatbelts purchased from and also, the digital guages look top end...where were they sourced from and how complex was the install? Were any other components required to fit them?

Car is looking top notch!

All executed to your usual level of perfection Gary, nice one!

I'm a little undecided on the bumper, but it'll certainly be different and I'm sure will look good, just don't know if I prefer it to the original.

Look forward to seeing it complete though smile

Surely you'd want some charcoal ones with a carbon weave?

Gary

Like the front bumper and where on earth did you get it from!?

Also - the top mesh looks like the ali stuff but the bottom looks OEM plastic hex mesh. I have a sheet of plastic hex mesh which might match the bottom mesh it you want to try it? Brought it for the RS6 but only used a little bit so should be enough to fit the top part... let me know if you wana have a look.

Thanks all - and Thanks Roger - that would be awesome - trying to find a smaller version of the large hex mesh was a nightmare!
A picture would be great when you have the time smile

Nice, where did you find this then, I spent months trying to find a genuine w427 one, luckily I managed to get a new one from hsv in the end. What brackets did you use for the fog lights

Looking better, any chance of a more distant shot? Just to see it more 'in context'
