Yeah vented one. Wanted a vent above the supercharger filter. Ill put some pics up when i get it fitted. Hopefully it shouldnt be too far off.

Also CF CSL bootlid. Just dont know wether to leave it as weave or paint it. Since its a dark car anyway, i may leave it. Dunno.

Will get some pics up when all is fitted.

I think it can be done as in the pic above but with huge amount of work! Did you see the site where that pic came from and the work that went into fitting the bonnet?
Also,I'm pretty sure the wing and bonnet are slightly out of line in that pic!

The shutlines around the headlights is WAYYYY off. Even if you get the wings to fit. It'll still look off.

Depends on how much of a perfectionist you are, but IMHO, if that was the end result, I wouldn't bother

He just chopped the end 4" of the wings away and welded on the facelift to it. Ill give it a try at the weekend. Yes i want it perfect so if it doesnt fit it will be going back.
