Cheers mate,
It used to be really clean until some knob end reversed into my rear bumper with an uber long exhaust and melted it! Bastardo!

Nice.

Front lip, side skirts and sports grill are all genuine factory options.

Matching rear lip would really finish it off nicely but you'd need the JDM rear bar also.

Cheers, Mark. I take a few pointers from you hey not even Subaru could tell me where the spoilers came from... Hah

Bummer about the rear bumper damage. Oh well good excuse to do a tow-bar delete

Haha nah mate not the tow bar!! I needs it to tow stuff.

Got bored... So I stripped & sprayed (OBPearl )the old peeling chrome finish off. It took while, but I was a bored times. Just me and stanley knife

Noice! This is what I did to mine, much easier haha

I like! But, my cars lack of balls make it not worthy of carbon fibre anything.

Nice work.

I have to do the same to an Outback grill I have for a custom job.

PITA so ive been putting it off.

Big PITA! It took about 2hrs of full on prying and coaxing that stuff off. Then 10 mins fine wet n dry & about 20 mins spray 3 coats + 2 Clear. But i like the result. Still need to sand with 1500 and polish. Next is to tackle all the scratches in rest of the console. Bloody dog keeps jumping in and going mental all over the shop.

3 x new accessories. A li'l bit of rice never hurt anyone...
HIC rain guards... Look better in person I promise...

Wipertech front and rear

Bonnet protector/guard

And to keep her shiny happy! Great deal BTW!

Now just to lose those headlight surrounds.........
