V8 Vantage Bodywork Upgrade

[Curlyapplehead]

So I have wanted to update the body work on my car from the pre 2011 spec:






To the Vantage S look:






Started this afternoon on one of the ramps at work:




And then proceeded to remove the wheels, inner wheel arches, rear lights (to access some of the rear bumper bolts) and then finally the front and rear bumpers..






Quickly hung the front bumper on to check the paint match which was spot on and got me all excited for it to be finished..




Replacing the already uprated AM Sports Pack dampers, with these shiny shiny Nitron R3 Race Dampers :-) will post updates of fitting them and routing the remote reservoirs!

Fitting this 6 slat front grill in matt black too: http://www.davidapplebyengineering.com/wpimages/wp...

Some more upgrades in the pipeline too which I will post about in due course! Let me know your thoughts all!

Got the front reservoirs mounted quite nicely just got to look at how to do the rears as well. Yea got to replace all four inner arches and the front undertray for the updated bodywork.

Don't forget to get it polished once the work has all been done, just to put the icing in the cake.

Is that an offer that you want to come and do it for free Paddy?
