Got everything painted last week which was great, started the install thursday night but had to leave the rear bar in the front bedroom until saturday (much to my wife's dismay haha). Finished it all saturday and im really happy with the result. The gunmetal colour i chose is amazing, when the sun hits it it lights up, unfortunately it doesnt get much sun down there :)

Thanks guys, yeah the pics look very subtle but it really lifts the look of the back. I'm loving it. But that's going to be all for a while. Now it's looking the part I want to start enjoying driving it more.

Might look at nav with next years tax return but we'll see.

Happy for now :)

Dont be ashamed to look back at your car, I do it all the time! Especially after getting my rear valance painted matt black, its like shaving off a big beard, took years off the cars life!
