So I was on hols last week and dropped in an saw Ben, picked up some new bits. Gtb rev d e front bar with lower lip, and a full gtb tailgate. Ben was a champ I was low on room and he gave me a hand to strip the gate right down so I could take all the bits I needed. I started fitting these when I got back. I also have a gtb rear bar to finish prepping also before I paint it to finish the entire kit off. I hummed alot about the front bar but decided keep it all gtb and make it look more original. Anyway more photos to come. I have the wing to put on yet once again Ben helped out heaps making it easy drill holes in the cars current tail gate. Will post more photos once bars and spoiler are fitted.

Got a little bored on weekend as well decided to try out something with my old crappy honeycomb grille. Took a bit of time but looks good I think with chrome and black

Some more updates car is all but done... needs some light sanding and clear coat buff but the gtb bars, spoiler and front and rear lips are painted. Going to leave it for a few days before I actually start to prep it for proper sand back with 1500 and buff it.

Thanks guys was done in 2pak, first time I had sprayed thought id give it a shot did all the prep. I wet sanded the spoiler back and gave it a cut an polish and it looked the goods. So im hoping it does the same when rest is done. The green is perfect colour though when its finished

Looks great and if you can get ahold of an e-tune grill that would finish the front off nicely :)
