Once you get the mtech skirts, your gonna be golden. A euro front plate and rear plate filler i agree would also look good. Maybe some wheel spacers too.

I was thinking about some spacers... how big do ya think though? 5mm? 10mm?

I don't think I have ever seen a MT2 in any silver...should be awesome

I'll ensure the pics get put up once it's all done (probably another few months, but I'm not too bothered as I'm in the UK 'till August).

Any other cosmetic suggestions? I want to put some side turnsignals in to make it EU compliant, and I'll get the black part of em painted silver... your thoughts?

I want that plate frame! Where did you get it? What size tires are you running on the LS? Car looks great!!

Thanks... the frame is from this site: http://www.autoplates.com/ or a similar one. If you get a black one it helps to clearcoat it to stop it from fading...
Can't remember about the tires though... either 225/45 or 225/50, I'm thinking the latter. Some people don't like the "donut" look, and prefer stretched, but I think the fatter tires look pretty decent on the Ronals. Plus you get good protection from any curb scrapes...

Nice plate frame :D

The car looks very nice too! I always wondered what my car would look like with an M-Tech II kit.

haha, thanks, I was wondering when someone would notice. To be honest, I've always liked your (nearly identical) car too, and it made me wonder if I should go Mtec, because I quite like the standard black plastic bumper strips. But I think once I make a few changes (sideskirts, exhaust, maybe front turn signals, etc) the Mtec kit will look right at home.

By bad...looking back on the older photos you can really tell that it's lachssilber

No probs... I think that it fades over time, hence why in the old pics it looks darker. Plus I would imagine that no 2 paints (DuPont, Glasurit, etc) would look exactly the same for any given paint code...

It's actually lachssilber... I think that it's so bright out (in FL) that it's making it look lighter than it actually is...

Nothing to do with diameter, more width. Like from 3/4 view they hide the tread section of the tyre, just an optical illusion.

I noticed it most when fitting an MtechII kit to a mates car. It had 16inch Alpinas with 225/45 all round, once the sides went on, the tyres did not look as wide as the skirt hides some of the tyre, that make sense?

Ahha, gotcha. Yea, I generally like the Mtec 2 look though... and it has to be better than what's on there now...

God DAMN those skirts are ugly.

Car looks titties in that first shot.

Lip it.

Why thank you... I assure you that the skirts will now be going.
When you say lip it, I presume you mean you'd like to see a lip on there? Cos I originally bought a Rieger one, before going Mtec 2...

I'm sure that with the Mtec2 skirts and a few other minor cosmetic changes, everything will be looking sweet once again...

i'm not sure on the m-tech II on sterling silver, but it looks like you've put in some hard work so i give you props

Cheers

By skinny though, I presume you mean that it makes the wheel diameter look small, like they aren't filling up the wheel wells?
