Thanks . Should have better pics of it next week. Front and rear arches going in to be Rolled on the 11th and should be in for paint the 15th along with the Wald front lip and rear spoiler being fitted.
Well a bit of an update. Cars sitting pretty good on the BCRacing coilovers and have bedded in now. Small bit of adjusting to do to the rear, a 1/4" or maybe 1/2" more drop as the rears were rolled with a slight pull last week by Team Chihuahua over in Limerick so there is clearence as the wheels just about tuck... "just"...
Fronts are rubbing slightly, even with the bumper tab bent back and theres a small rub on uneven surfaces on the arch liner, so will have to take wheels off to observe where there is rubbing and either heatgun it and push it further in or a small bit of cutting.
Car went in for paint to get a few jobs done, front bumper smoothing off, p/s door had a couple marks from other drivers doors hitting it I would imagine, boot lid also getting paint along with spoiler/splitter etc on Monday and should be finished by Saturday with Wald front splitter, and rear spoiler fitted also and picked up Tuesday.
And after a bit of a quick polish:

ALso picked up some LED park light bulbs and fogs.. The fogs ended up being wrong H11 type thats on the 2011 facelift, so sent them back and got a different style one that would produce near HID-like lightning from it, complete with inbuilt heatsink and produces 4000 lumens instead of the crappy halfords-brand ones that were only 400..
(fogs arnt installed yet as car is still in for paint work but the parks are alot crisp and a nice white light from them)
Have a guy doing my whole engine covers in Carbon Fibre also! Should make the engine bay look a lot prettier then! Will post pics as soon as my guy sends me some of them done! Should be within the week, along with fresh pics of the car out the shop!
In Ireland you have to have the plate long and text a certain font and size. Same with UK and prob a few European countries. I just said to **** with it and got a Japanese sized plate and have done with it lol. Have the standard long plates for nct test ( yearly vehicle test for safety/law compliance etc). Would need to put stock wheels on for that to as my tyres are stretched and would fail on that
Well it's fresh out of paint. Wald front splitter and rear spoiler now on. Also installed the LED front fog bulbs from automotivelightstore.com
and are pretty damn bright at 4,000 lumens and 6k lighting, with a nice crisp white light and really modernises the car.
Threw in a couple reflective shots of the paint and fogs on as it was just going dark.
Now awaiting carbon bits to be finished and onto sending some interior parts off to the UK to be retrimmed.. Steering wheel is getting retrimmed in perforated black leather with a blue section at the bottem (Like the ISF wheels), and have carbon fibre inserts where s/w controls are.. Also said I would send off my gear gaitor surround and have it done in same blue stitching to match lower part of the wheel.
Just got a message off the guy at Aquaprint who's done my engine covers and was up til early hours of this morning finishing small details and clear coating. Absolute gent to deal with and is based in Dublin. I'll be leaving to collect them in a few hours but here's the finished product. Will put more pictures installed tonight or tomorrow but at the moment I'm very happy
Couple pics checking clearence going onto driveway.. This is a straightforward drive on.. pretty much zero clearence left.
Front fender to wheel lip is about 1 1/4" and roughly 24" fender to ground. Lowest point is 3.5" on a straight surface, so front is staying like it is and the back will come down another half inch, maybe a full inch if I'm feeling brave.
