Looks awesome. I want to do the same to mine too.

You had the side vinyl decals too but without the MPerformance logo right?

Thanks mate

Yea the M performance logo is a separate vinyl sticker that goes on top of the black decal. It came with the kit but i didnt put them on.

nice job!

you may say you're done with exterior modding, but I say you still gotta close that wheel gap a bit , unless thats part of your stage 2!

hahah thanks mate.

honestly i would love to lower it even an inch but I already have a hard time around my area. My local maccas and petrol station require me to take my car on an angle. Not to mention the thousand times i have parked my car only to see my lip sitting just above the front gutter. An inch drop and i would damage that lip in no time

stage 2 will be performance bolt ons.

MMMMM Let me see........., nope, can't see them. lol

IMO, I will install this if I go color paint match with the vinyl. As you have the vinyl the skirts got lost there in all the black. I will try mine with out it, one time I get the front lip next week To lower that I will suggest MPS. I installed mine last friday and the drop is fine for a DD with a hell off day and night drive improvement. Stiffer and not body roll at all.
Your car is going good. I have the same 403m wheels and I love them.

It does blend in but thats why i like it, not over the top for me. I know you dont have issues with your lowered car but the lip will add about a inch on top of that. I already have issues with scraping so yeah.

Love the 403 wheels as well, dont feel the need to change

You have to do what I do. I got most of the parts from my dealership with the 20% off and good price for the labor also. So I leave home in the morning to work and on the way I drop the car at the dealer, they do all the work then pick it up on my way home. Believe me, the wife doesn't notice a dam thing change I can paint the car and she wont notice either jk. But you get the idea.

I installed mine today with the front lip also. The only issue with the extension was the riverts sucks. I put different ones. Also I couldn't find the purpose on the tape inside, I installed without touching it.

Just to reply to some of the questions above.

These were replicas. I got them from a Australian vendor for 250 AUD.

Came with the screws and rivets. Had issues with the rivets so just used the screws

Looks awesome, tasteful and clean! I didn't even realize the side skirts were available without the M Performance decal.

Where'd you get the Front Lip/Rear Diffuser from? How's the front lip on bumps/slopes?
