Thanks all - install is really easy, only took 30mins. Just gotta be careful not to destroy the standard brackets. Note: replace the standard plastic brackets with good stainless nuts & bolts or you're gonna have a bad time when someone pinches it.

Cheers mate. There's more on there now, have the M Power banner on the bonnet & need to order some OEM motorsport stripes for the bumper.

Sponsor decals usually come out a week or two before the event, so we'll have heaps of time to sticker up.

Are you planning to have a theme?

Prime Signs in Mt. Wellington did a good job on my old "M" stripes

Beauty thanks - will give them a call if the OEM ones fall through. These are the ones I'm looking to order:

Gumboot Rally #2 over - and what an adventure! The car's theme came together well over the space of a few months, and went down a treat.

I've picked up & installed a couple more parts since last update too, CSL brake pads & carbon fiber rear deck spoiler to match the diffuser:

Well done on the theme, any chance of more pics of spoiler?

Sure mate, here's a few I took when changing them over:

The darker colour really looks reminiscent of the the e30 tech1 spoiler I love so much, looks great.

How is it mounted? Adhesive or fasteners?

Stuck on with the stuff below. I initially used 3m double-sided adhesive, it is BAD.

This stuff sticks like sh*t to a blanket. It's about $9/roll, and you need at least 2 rolls for a spoiler this size
