Project Flipper

Cheers! That's it just about complete on the outside now I've just got the front calipers to paint orange and I think I'll be happy with how it looks. Oh no I just remembered I ordered a set of DRL sweeping indicators to fit between the bumper and headlights but they might look naff but they were only £9 so it's not the end of the world if they are :p
 
Project Flipper took a huge step forward, I finally managed to get my grubby hands on a genuine Votex boot spoiler and fitting kit. I'm planning on getting it hydro dipped in carbon to match the b pillar trims. I just need to get my finger out and remove the rest of the Votex from the breaker

Pretty Cool Stuff, I 'm liking the Carbon bits route too (what about the front flap, maybe?), I like your Seats too.. :p

I did try to wrap the grill but I made an ar$e of it and ran out of wrap ??? I might give it another go one day. The seats really complete the car in my opinion anyway.

Yes but you have to trim them down about 3cm to fit properly. They come with silicone bungs at each end I filled them with clear silicone before I stuck them back on to stop moisture getting in. Also get some good strong 3m double side tape and bin the cheap chinese tape they come with or they wont stay stuck to the curve of the headlight I wired them in with neat plugs. You'll probably say they're cheap crap but I'll post rhe link for them as well ?

Haven't done much to Flipper in recent times but this weekend I done a couple of upgrades/mods. First one being I upgraded to the Auto light switch and secondly was to wrap the service flap in 4d carbon both turned out really well imo. My sequential indicators also arrived for the rear lights but I need to wait till I get some more 3m double sided tape arriving before I attempt fitting these,

Yes I know what you mean they suit the Dolphin grey so well, I might've found another set but unfortunately I'll need to buy the car they're attached to as well to get them ?

Hopefully not lol I've got 2 spare interiors sitting so my plan is to swap the seats out and sell the car on again at a slightly cheaper price so with a bit of luck they won't cost me that much in the end

They'll maybe be for sale if I don't buy the other car I'm planning on putting them into ? It's a rare option over here as well, that's why I ended up buying the whole car just to get my hands on them.
