also, Craig, colour is slightly different, they went off the colour code as supposed to matching it. also doesn't help that the bar is clean and the car is dirty as hell

Yeah fair enough ...

Does make the car look a bit deeper on the bonnet, and a slightly more pink in the hue of the bumper.. But if it was blended, you probably wouldn't notice...

Overall looks the goods though ...

Painted bar looks good! Not a usual facelift colour.

I must admit, I had only seen the colour in pre-facelift... And was the first FTO I saw.. It was my neighbours... I never really did like the colour that much, but loved the car itself.

He got a facelift bar to convert it, and got as far as rubbing it back ... But wrote off the car before he could fit it... IMO the colour of the car really does go with the facelift bar, and makes it look a lot better.. I am liking the look of this one Lawso ... 8)

Yeah I wasn't a big fan of the colour until I saw it in person before the bonfire, I started to really like it, and I like it even more as a facelift now too!

and yeah plastidip is awesome, I did my engine cover in it :p

That's it. I reckon the curves of the fto look quite good with a matte finish. I worked it out, would be about $600 to do a whole car yourself, gun included.
