Front and sides are done, will do the rear tomorrow after the "kinky sex" tonight

I also added 15mm spacers on the rear wheels.

Here are 2 pictures (car is dirty):

Looking good.
You really save some money by doing yourself. I know if you had done it at a garage they charged you the double........speaking from experience

I have paid 999 euros for the kit, 89 euros for shipment 495 euros for painting and saved 200 euros for mounting (sounded cheap to me) but that was because I wanted to do it myself (with help from a friend) because that is the only way I know for certain it is done the way I want it.

If anybody has instructions how to remove the rear bumper feel free to post it here, it would save me a lot of time !

With some clear instructions from TIS it would be easy, but I didn't have them. Took us 4 hours with a lot of talking and hiding from the rain. If you really focus you can do it in 2 hours easy.
