Coming to the end.... smoothing!
Coming to the end.... smoothing!
Hello,
So..you get the bumpers smoothed, the boot, and the bumpstrips on the side and finally the front wings.... so what is actually left on the small scale side of smoothing?
Things I can think of are,
1. The Ariel
2. The two panels underneath the rear lights (between bumper and light)
3. Smooth the splitter in
4. The HID washers
What else would anyone smooth that on the small side of smoothing that will make a little diffrence?

What Silky just said... my cars pretty damn low as far as 6n2's go and my splitter is DESTROYED! Its not even straight, i love silky's carbon splitter but to spend that much on a splitter and smash it is just too much of a risk for me.. same thing applies to your bumper! You'll crack the entire thing!

Yeh like said before don't get the splitter done, it does look good (Tom had it done on his) but you'll most definitely be going back to get it fixed at some point.
Roofrails aren't OTT I don't think. They're a good call, something you wouldn't notice gone if you weren't an avid 6N2 fan, which is the whole point of doing it.
Don't get the spoiler done, I did a photoshop of it years ago and it didn't look good.
Headlamp washers are a fair call, down to personal oppinion though I guess. I think it makes the car look more modern and top of the line. Notice all the top vags have them. I think it's one of distinguishing features.
Be carefull if getting the panels under the rear lights done. They are very likely to crack again, if not smoothed using a welded on plate before hand.
Aerial is a good call.
Rear bumper recess may look good, if you put the palte back in the same position after. You'd struggle for plate lights that don't look silly however.
