Might as well jump into the snake pit of the Originality Police
Only a few little things, but boy they still cost a lot!
Carbon front splitter,
Single lens headlights to Speed 6 type arrangement, but with lens covers to protect the lamps,
move low front indicator to the side light aperture of new headlight cluster,
mask over the old indicator aperture to accentuate the sill line around the whole front end,
remove wing indicator repeaters,
adapt wing mirrors to house LED strip as new repeater indicators,
From this;

Love this car. Followed your thread on the work. Very nicely done. Only a few little things, but boy they still cost a lot!

I generally prefer Cerbs with single headlamps, but that I do like. Fresh! It must be the covers that make it, perhaps they wouldn't work so well (for me) with other colours.Only a few little things, but boy they still cost a lot!

Thank you too!I think theres only one other (well for sure at the time of the rebuild of my car) Cerb with headlight covers, which a turqoisey bluey colour - cant find a photo just now - but I think they would work with for most colours,
But with the carbon splitter, the masking/filling of the old indicator apertures, and wanting the car to look just a little more aggressive, I had to go with black!

Is this the car I saw recently at Dan Taylors? If so the underside is even better looking than the top! Mine was there at the same time for the annual wallet spanking.
Yes indeed, the car was with Dan for geo set-up, front discs change and a few bits'n'bobs that came to light. I think the clean underside is more of an indication of how little its been used since the body off!
Suitable rear diffuser candidate found but I have also found what may be a good rear lip spoiler. Very subtle and could add just enough kegs on the rear to give me more confidence on the long undulating bends.
The one I had on my jag XF you could hear the wind hitting it so maybe this could be for me. No pics yet just thought I'd throw it out there.

Do you have closeup pics of how you did the wing mirrors ?.
Only have one pic from the bodyshop when they did the work, which probably isnt much help as it doesnt show in the interiors of the housing. I gave them a selection of LEDs I found that could do a job, and they chose the gel type flexible strip as this would follow the contour of the mirror and was only a few mil deep so wouldn't interfere with the mirror and motors, as they're really quite small mirrors!They cut the back of the mirror slightly smaller than the full width of the strip, so had something in the housing to slap some mastic/silicon onto to keep them in place and stop water ingress. There is JUST enough curve in the mirror and with the correct positioning, to be able to pass the MOT test of seeing the repeater from the rear angle.....and I mean just!
The guys that did the work were C&S Coachworks in Liphook, same little estate as APM live on, Chris is the main man if anyone wants to know more as Im sure he will remember the car!
