sorry about that kiddo's i remember reading that someone had to mod it a bit to keep it pivoted up. i'm trying to think of ideas / ways how. otherwise i like it, i will change it when i get sick of it and then vis versa.

just the normal black it came in
all body parts you buy from manufactures come in that colour you would struggle to find a place that sold parts already painted that wasnt a wreckers or came off another car |

the final product i sprayed matte black with clear coat, so it kinda resembles the trim. its pretty rough compared to what a panel beater would do, but it was DIY and i don't mind how it turned out, just need to polish it a bit more but the original i think was primed black

Hey guys, sorry for very late reply, been bogged down with a lot of ****.
Well mine looks pretty okay, just depends on what kind of quality you want. If i took more time to spray and better skills it would have turned out perfect. But because it was my first DIY job, i was pretty thrilled. Okay I'll give you guys a hand with ordering some; I'm not sure if i should order them to my address and then post them again or see if the seller can post them individually. Basically i'll leave this open for 2 weeks and leave your name on a list and i'll make the inquiries. Interested: 1. 2. .... kkgo! it would be roughly the same price, if not cheaper due to the exchange rate!

Hmm well my advice, because most of your car is already black trim, black will fit much nicer. But if you want the CF look then go for it, you could always CF your mirror panels to match I'm not too sure on the quaility of the CF one either. My black looks okay.
They are basically the same price so the price may have varied due to the exchange rate but it was like 120-126$ inc postage it was. ... you'll prob be able to see it on sunday trent, from far it looks good, but when you go to detail, my paint job coulda been better. but i'm okay with it.

If I were buying one, I'd get a CF one, too much screwing round, otherwise its not too hard to vinyl one, just need the patience
