Installed a nice V12S Carbon Front Grille ;)

[Jibberingloon]

Since it was nice and sunny decided to fit my V12S Carbon Front Grille and took the old girl for a spin











Might have also parked in a No Parking Zone.......

The grille looks very nice, indeed and I prefer the full CF finish like you have to the part painted option.

Can't help but notice, but is there perhaps something wrong with your suspension or shockers? Your car looks like it is sitting too low in the last couple of pics - the gap around the tyre to the arch should be equidistant all the way round.

Its the H&R Springs, they seem to sit low on the rear with the Sports Pack Dampers.

DAE are getting the rear end higher for me in the next few weeks.

Car looks great, I fancied doing the same but the cost of the part has changed my mind...

[boxstaman]

How do you find the comfort with the H&R springs as the ride height is exactly what I am looking to achieve?

[GlynV8]

That looks very nice.
Something I have been considering too, although quite a pricey option

Your car is looking great, Mark. Good work.

Possibly the only tiny clue to it not being a V12VS, is the roof aerial. With the engineering skills that you have already demonstrated, that should be an easy adjustment for you.

- Let me guess your next modification project. Perhaps it could be wider wheel arches and a GT8 rear wing. Maybe not, because you would then have to change back to your original bonnet.

I had not noticed this point before, but your photograph from above, shows the two grille struts are exactly in line with the gap between bonnet and wing.

I agree it looks great, and am a fan of people changing their cars to how they want them, but the front spoiler and boot are probably slightly more significant than the aerial.

Looks really good. I have a whole pile of new Carbon Fiber parts (V Collection) that I was going to fit to my V8S last week. I took the V8S into Sunshine Automotive for a service and for the CF parts and wheels to be fitted . Ended up trading the V8S in that day for a V12S. The V12S is pretty much already specced up with enough Carbon Fiber IMO. So now I'm stuck with the following bits, all from V Collection.
EXTERIOR BITS – Carbon Fiber
Racing Grille Surround
Carbon Fiber Mirror Caps -
Rear Lamp Inserts
Carbon fiber side strakes – bolt on type

Other bits.
Rear Exhaust tips - glossy black finish –

1 x set of Misano wheels 19 inch - Satin Black (19x8.5 fronts and 19x9.5 rears)

I'm in sunny Queensland down under. I'm travelling to the UK in late June to run a car in the Modball rally starting on the Sunday the 26th. Might even go to the Goodwood FOS.

Tony, thanks for the great deal on the carbon parts. After collection from your place straight to AM Southport for fitting, 3 hours later all looking good and I am really pleased with the results.

Was going to put my V12S Lightweights on this weekend but ran out of time.........
