Looks good Alex.

Like the blue you used on your brakes.

Mirrors came out nice too.

Take it you have more mods planned?

Keep up the good work mate.

Were you parked near the Ikea in Boucherville on Saturday?
I saw a silver F with front splitter like you when I came back to my car.

Nice! I have to ask though, why put the f-sport decal and not just the F? More coverage?

Quick update, installed new front lip and spent the last 9 hours cleaning and repairing my headlight. You may have noticed from previous photos the passenger headlight had some condensation. Really hoping i sealed everything well and dont have to deal with this again.

Nice work Alex.

When you look at the first few photos, you'd be forgiven for thinking it was toast, and only fit for the bin!

Looks like you did a great job refurbishing it. Congrats!

That's cool, what paint did you use? I'm tempted to do mine also.
