Jeebus, that's over half what I paid for my whole car. :lol:

Looks good, gives it a hint of the Carerra RS look.


I'm guessing that the '4' was meant to be a '$' - but there was a shift-fail involved.

Personally, I don,t think having four colours on the car works. Red, white, blue and black.

I wasn,t a fan of the blue stripes before either. Each to their own I guess. In my opinion the red and blue clash.

IMO a splitter and a filthy big wing without the striped and coloured plates would look great.

the blue plates are now a mis-match. when the car was silver with the blue stipes i bought the plates.
i think red plates are next on the list. i have the trackdog front splitter and although the big wing sounds good :wink: i'm about 30 odd years past that cycle of thinking.
i'd really cop some crap if i had one of those on. the older you get the sillier you are :lol: but your thoughts are good :) but age is againt me :roll:

White actually makes the SE bodykit look good. +1 for red plates.

+1 on switching to red and white plates - this would flow well with the red side stripes.

Also consider getting some red rim skins, they'll help protect the rims from kerb rash and highlight the rims more: http://www.rimskins.com/

I think offsetting the new red plate could improve the view (& IC airflow) up front, too, if you don't mind looking a bit jdm-yo. ;)

There's other brands of essentially the same product. Alloygators, from the UK, come in 9 colours:
