Is that sidelights you've on the last 2 pics?

Not bad... some before pics would be handy to see the difference.

Parking lights are pretty bright on the facelifts, especially with decent W5W LEDs.

A set of lexus style lights would really set off the rear in my opinion

god no id never put lexus lights on my car

looking good dan, i think a version R spoiler would really set off te rear :wink:

by **d_dan** » Tue Dec 16, 2008 11:52 pm

i had one before but sold it when i was getting the carbon bootlid.
And i dont quite have 300 pounds to spend on a carbon spoiler

Looks tidy Dan. Did you leave the boot lid unpainted?
Have you considered painting the roof black? Saw it on a few FTO's and can look very well, and might suit yours. Though at this stage I'm sure you don't want to put it back in the paint shop again.

Thats a mean looking FTO Dan - I don't think it needs a rear spoiler - I like the bare ass look myself.

By lexus lights, Rory obviously means Type F's

Take some on a nice clear day when she's clean dan!

Gotta say shes starting to grow on me looks wise!
