More pics...




Hope yee like!

Front bumper looks nice but u need to change badge grill to mesh to finish it off.

i do like the bumper in some way, but then dont! You could say its like marmite.. I think you need a badgeless grille, defiently the mesh type and maybe black mesh to suit the colour of the car better, just my opinion! The sideskirts look good but dont follow the line from the front bumper, there not deep enough! The exhaust system, looks mean maybe a bit too much for the standard rear bumper, i'd say the rear kyros bumper to set them off and keep the flow of the bodykit going. Lovely car can see you've put alot of effort into her

Cheers appreciate honest answers. Personally I do love the front bumper and I like the grill, but slightly feel its to much "show" for my liking. Would have to agree on the skirts, but im happy with the way it is. the kyrp skirts are only slightly different then the Lester skirts I have so i feel could be a waste of money... The rear is my next plan to sort out, but im highly undecided on it, I would agree with ya that the exhaust does look slightly a bit much on the bumper, but I dont mind that really but ill wait a while before I decide. The main thing concerning me at the mo, is it could do with being lower at the front? :chin: Cheers for feedback

I like the front bumper but think it would look a lot better with black mesh, as i think silver mesh just looks nasty!

Other than that it looks pretty sweet :coo:

But dare i say, maybe a bit loooower

You will have to watch speed bumps and even kerb edgings when you park if you go any lower as I found out and its why I am on standard springs ..its no fun when you hear Cruunnnch when you go over bumps and you are thinking Oh my bloody bumper :bang: in fact its soul destroying when it happens ..been there and worn the tee shirt

Well the way I look at it is, sacrifice the bumper for a lower front, or keep it the way it is... and guess whats winning Today for instance had to go over speed bumps, and all was well, so that is very pleasing! My Dads putting pressure on me to leave the car for a while and concentrate n getting ready for college as I didnt have a great year college wise last year so after the induction kit, will be a good while before the car will be touched, if it will be touched again!

nice, i like the front bumper but i think that it would look even better if the mesh was darker/ black

lush wheels

needs lowering

Some better pics!

Wow thats a mean looking bumper. I would agree with the others though that the mesh needs to be black. The silver mesh isn't working really. Also those exhausts are huge! New rear is in order I think to help it fit in. Happy with the sound of it? Was the induction kit a big difference? Pics are looking good especially the one shot from the ground

Im half thinking of cutting the rear bumper to accomodate the exhausts, i dont like any of the rear bumpers for the Stilo so I wont be splashing out on one. I love the sound off the car. When stuck in traffic shes dead quite, then when the foot goes down, its savage! The induction kit helped performance wise defo, must post up a pic of it actually!

I think I'd like the bumper more if you had a badgeless grill and black mesh. Also it needs bigger alloys to pull big bodykits like that off. 18's and maybe a bit lower would look

But it's nice, reminds me slightly of the fronts of new Audis

Couldn't of said it better myself mate! I do feel its looking a bit high especially at the front and just making your wheels look like 14's or something! I don't feel they suit the big front bumper.

On the up hand though i do like that bumper now seeing it on your car and not the purchase site example thing. It really does looks nice and changed my opinion, just that small issue.

Sometimes the smallest of mods can make the biggest differences. This is with the wheels still at the same size.

Oh yeah an this was a small windows paint effort lol

I know that low is slightly impractical as well but still looks fit!!

The thing is, if I do lower it more then it will be still ok. Im thinking of getting new springs so will be more then likely selling on my Eibachs sooner then later

nice one but yeah it does look really nice. Especially when i was a bit :s first. You have gone and proved me wrong lol

sorry for dragging up this thread but i am sure i saw you. were you at the Lakeview roundabout in Midleton coming from cork going towards youghal on saturday night?

Got to comment on the car

The front end when i first saw it looked horrible, but after a while it grew on me and makes the car stand out.

The exhausts at the back though need to be put up a bit into the bumper some how , they look a bit strange like they are.

I dont think i would fancy my chances with the front skirt and rear exhausts where i work with all the speed bumps
