Finally a build thread Nathan! I'll be watching this space for more :)

[xCalibur_]

ordered the sports grill and eyelids today :D gonna get them both painted

cant wait ;)

[1stKill]

Looks good mate...nice work :)

[Silver-Aurion]

Just noticed you finally have a rice thread. Good stuff man. Would be cool to see your car in person. Good way to compare cars considering their both also the same colour :)

[xCalibur_]

so i heard the doorbell ring this morning and when i looked outside i saw a delivery truck. could only mean one thing right ? car parts :D

going to get them sprayed, then on the car it goes :D

Grats mate nice touches.

welcome to the grill and lid club :D

[xCalibur_]

new face :D

[xCalibur_]

small update.

finally put in foggies :)

lol faceless ...

how i had to put the foggies on the bumper. not sure if its cos its an atx, the bumper only had 1 screw hole, and as you can see, i put thick cable ties on the other side. can anyone confirm if this is an atx thing ?

and the final product

[Pah]

There is only 1 screw that holds the fog light to the bracket the other side clipped into the bracket from memory

[Defyant]

Another nice touch :D that's a pretty big gap between your grill and bonnet I used a strip of stick on rubber to lift mine.

yeah i saw the two slots for it to clip into, but the kit i have didn't actually clip in, more just slide in under a small lip. so i cable tied for safety.

haha quality resources. nah dont really want drls. kinds of too mainstream these days, if you know what i mean

[Silver-Aurion]

Good stuff man. About the gap on the grill. I used a cable tie and pulled it up and tied it to the plastic cover. Now she sits straight and no more gap :).

I won't have that grill for long though. I bought the chrome grill. Hopefully the seller should send it soon:).

I'm amazed at what a difference foggies make. Nice touch :).
