New Kit

[viet_boi]

hey, hows it going guys/girls? recently had my new front kit fitted on and yeah did it myself and took photos along the way

here it is..

1st: Take off the old S1 front kit and in picture shows where all the screws are.

2nd: Had to cut the reinforcement bar so kit would fit on, a little adjustments too.

3rd: Trial fit the kit and make sure its not to wide or to small, Lucky mine was a perfect fit.

"Had to drive around like that for a week or so, DRIFT LOOK"

4th: Sanded the grey kit down lightly, gave it a first coat of red prime, some little cracks appeared and was fixed up.

5th: Sanded it down lightly and gave it another coat of black prime this time, no holes or cracks appeared, was clear to go for final paint and built some brackets to hold in mesh.

6th: Sanded lightly and then the final paint went on (Gloss paint)

7th: Fitted on the car now it looks sickkk well too me anyways.

well hope you guys liked it and it helped if you guys are trying to take off your old kit..hahaha
