I reckon an undertray, even in chopped strand and black gel would get quite a few takers.

Wes and I have already spoken about this and first impression we’re that it would be mega expensive. However that doesn’t mean we can’t take it further. 😉

Let’s get this GB out of the way and look at the idea in the new year. 👍

Ducts are in the budget for next year, but if this is the place for ideas here's a couple:
Paddle shifters
PS reservoir cover
Grille surrounds
Mirror caps

I need to clean up the engine bay a bit - but it's the wrong time of year.
However, have just spent the day servicing it all:
* Oil+Filter
* Gearbox Oil+Filter
* Air Filters
* Cabin Filters
* Both front upper arms
* Both front roll bar drop links
* New NGK plugs
* New N249
And while I was at it, fitted the carbon air intake guides. What do you guys think?

It look phenomenal and the way he managed to get the weave to match the standard weave was a big challenge but we succeeded :thumb: the carbon intakes should have come as standard because it makes the engine bay look 100x better.
Maybe you should also complement with the other parts we will have coming to market soon.

Yeah, I reckon they're really nice, substantially better than the OE silver ones.

Look great Mɐʇʇ. Did you drill to allow refitting of the two hex screws on the slam panel?

Yes, and a new pair of clips to replace the rusty old ones.

I'd like a set of the Intakes and B-pillars for a Sedan, missed the Group buy as I was overseas. If I don't do Facebook or Instagram (hate social media), do they have a website or other way to order, shipping to N. America.
Thanks

Nice job Matt.
I presume you have drilled two holes through the carbon fibre and used the clips to hold the intakes in place.
