Very nice.

I would'nt mind one for the SP either.

I hate stuck on spoilers, but that looks very factory, and will look even better when it's painted.

Painted? I thought half the point of carbon fibre was leaving it unpainted so everyone can see what it is 8)

Don't paint it, just get a matching bonnet and hard top.

...this very much fits into personal taste, Most people will see it as second hand panel awaiting the spray painters gun but we know better.

i agree mr morlock.
the boot will remain as is.
im looking into a carbon fibre hood and front guards as we speak. hopefully will make it look a little more like a car and not a mismatched panel heap.
thanks again szemen, sorry to have to take it from you :D
