tbh mate,the grill holds up fine,maybe an extra layer of paint here and there to help make it thicker and stronger,not seen any chips yet,door handles same , perfect still,ive had the car just a year now,and are looking like the day i got it...so not a bit flaky,peely or any paint coing of m8,tbh,i suppose its all down to what kind of job and how much prep you put into it,isnt it... |

yeah,unclip all the spring clips from glass surround,the grey as oem plastic bit pops out from middle of headlight housing,you can also pop the chrome effect plastic trim from it too so not to get color on it |

I'm not keen on the gravelly growl from that exhaust, I prefer the deep base burble you get from a V8, less conspicuous and "hey everyone look at me, I'm loud and proud" !!

That's sealed it for me couldn't make my mind up whether to black out grill and handles but this looks like the snakes , I've got the same chrome side vents and wasn't sure if car would still look OK with all black and one chrome bit but this looks cool. Defo getting that exhaust too.

@ stevie H... the vents and clour coding were all done from the trader i got it from,i specced it when i viewed it,along with the wheels,chrome tubes and chrome vents,i assume all there is to it is,unbolt it,clean and prep well,then spray.as it only took them 2 days from order to delivery...
