LOL at the fat ass comment! It is rather.....bulbus. Think it'll look ok once painted. I agree the spoiler looks odd, looks like an 'add on' just been plonked on, standard spoiler looks better imo :thumb:

As you said before the wheels do look small. i dont think it helps having the polished lip, that and the fact it looks like in needs to be lower on those wheels. I found with my project, when you put a fat front and rear on it looks weird with no skirts. it does make you think twice about what you've done, the skirts really tie everything together. :pancake:

I like the look of the smooth front bumper, needs a splitter though. Something out of the norm though :P

It will be getting Rs cabby skirts just got to finish welding then they can be fitted, cossies will be going silver as the polished lip doesn't do enough, getting soms coilovers at the weekend so that should sort that issue.

 

Spoiler just not keen on it usually like them but on my car its not working, I even swapped my Rs accessory spoiler for it nevermind ill sell this and get another.

 

Smooth bumper would suit the cossie splitter blended in but its not a cheap part to buy new so I think it will be an astra Mk4 splitter, prepared to try a few options.

So it didn't last long on the cossies so they where sold, I have a zr splitter to fit and I have another Rs spoiler also. On a bit of a go slow as it's just too cold to do anything, hopefully in the new year the car will be off to get everything painted. Quick pic of how its standing

If I can get away with the extra 25mm the focus brakes add to the axle and the 18s fit ill be keeping them and having them painted in a darker silver to add some contrast.

 

That's all folks
