Default Finally fitted the front chin spoiler

I'd primed and painted it months ago, and I finally put it on the other day. I was just waiting for the weather to warm up.

On the ramps. I left the centre portion in primer.


I let the Sikaflex cure for several hours, then sprayed the centre portion black.


Done!




Next: side and rear skirts.

It's an LX.
The weekend's gonna be warm, so I'm hoping to have the side skirts done by Sunday (but I'm not holding my breath).

Looks great Fled. I must applaude the results of painting it yourself. Did you have any difficulties trying to match the white paint?

Thanks. It wasn't easy to match the Diamond White, as it's more of an off-white/eggshell white shade, but I managed it in the end. Still need to polish up the clearcoat.

I had some M-Sport logos custom-made; now I'm trying to determine the best place to put one or two.
Here's a couple of ideas, done quickly in Photoshop:

Either the usual spot on the boot lid, or at the bottom rear corner of the side windows (but not both). Ignore the DC Shoes logo on the door; I was just having a bit of fun.

What do you guys reckon?

You were lucky that you had the M-Sport stickers reproduced. I believe that you can still get some commercially too.
