New changes including Splitter / Stripes / R888's
Well after having had the car for a year now I decided it was time to finally make some changes so that I finally feel like the car is mine.
When I got her:
Changes:
New Stripes + Carbon Naca Duct from KitCarDirect
New Front Splitter + DRL's
New Rear Diffuser and Third Brake Light
New R888'S
pretty much as I imagined it and am now very happy with the end result

Hey,
Looks fabulous, but let me ask if the authorities don't take issue with the way that front number plate is mounted? I would think they'd
feel obliged to be rude...

I think the requirement for the number plate is that it is fixed to a forward facing position, My argument would be the top of the nose cone is not
flat thefor the only forward facing point is wjere you have this fitted. I have mine in the same place and it has passed several MOT's
Life is like a bowl of fruit, funny how all the weird looking ones are left alone

Never had any issues with my small front plate. Even parked outside the local police station.

Nick205,
How many times do I have to tell you, it's not about size!! ;-)
It's about the angle at which the plate is mounted. I would've guessed that vertical or facing a little bit up would be ok, but that
facing (that much) downward would make the LEOs suspect you're trying to evade the speed camera getting a clear shot of your numbers.

Very Nice car indeed!
How did you make the splitter? is it all solid carbon fiber? thin foam core? honeycomb?

It's an MK Splitter that I've reworked as it originally turned up with some crush damage. It's 2 thin sheets of Ali with a plastic
core which gives it strength but also keeps it light and rigid.
