good work, lot of elbow grease looks like it went in there.

as for the lights, my opinion is Rev1/2 car suits rev 1/2 lights the best, same apply's for rev3.

dont think it looks right without changing the wing as well

:D

The cars are all the same appart from the lights and spoilers (at the back)
So how does a rev1 and a rev3 look different?

IMO rev3 lights with rev1/2 spoiler looks best. Rev3 spoiler is gash and doesnt suit the car at all.

Black looks good for the centre panel with the rev3 lights but I caved and had it colour coded.

I was waiting for some one to send me my pic with the black panel on but she's taking for ever lol.

Just need to put a badge on, got a dark one to give it some kind of offset against all the blue.

I've kept my lower parts black, kinda works having shiney black tyres, shadow chrome wheels and blacked out windows.

All one colour looks a tad bland IMO

Rev 3 lights with high level rev 1-2 spoiler look very good. I know this as i have the same combo! Also in yellow! Nice respray Olly. Yours had faded really bad. Mine was only on the side. Looks great.
