I like the front bumper and what you did with the front of the bonnet.

What did you do with the indicators and fog lights at the front?

Thanks guys... Now no more foglights... It has been replaced by LED driving lights... The indicator bulb is hidden behind the honeycomb grill... If you notice, the section where the indicator, foglights, and driving lights used to be, is now replaced with fiber which were added to the hood...

Ohhh to add, the rear diffuser, rear spoiler, LED enclosures, side mirrors, side vents, and interior panels are painted metallic dark grey, the roof is painted black, and the Brembo caliper is painted silver... All for the sake of color matching...

I love what you've done there - that's unique.

Although I'm not a fan of the rear spolier.

The front grille/bumper is gorgeous!

Out of interest, could you elaborate on the rough cost!?!

I think that looks superb. I love how you've modified the front and how it's sharpened up. The back looks very good, not sure about the squared off bottom part of the rear bumper - is that the exhaust? - but i'm being picky.

The colour looks superb and the work looks to be top notch - well done - i'm sure you are loving it. Great skills.

Thanks again people... rough cost?... mannn we're worlds apart and our cost differs... But anyways, the paint cost me MYR5,000* and the custom body kits was MYR4,000*

*MYR= Malaysian Ringgit

Yeah, the rear spoiler is an acquired taste... Not what i really wanted though, it was the designer's idea... Well, gotta live with it LOL

If I have converted the currency correctly that makes all that work a bargain.

MYR 9,000 = £1658 shocked

Could the rear bumper with diffuser be made as a kit for sale? Its the first time i've seen an aftermarket rear bumper that doesnt spoil the rear airflow.

Is it going to be a kit available off the shelf or was it a one off ?

If the Fiat Coupe had been a Japanese car, I'm sure the replacement would look very similar to what you have done. It reminds me of a Nissan GTR. It would look even better if you removed the spoiler. I think its the best looking 'heavily modded' Coupe.

mad, but I somehow love it smile

I can't help but imagine a lot LOT, did I say, LOT of work was done.

The rear spoilr may be a tad OTT, but the rest, isn't soo outrageous.

Only shame you never kept it pearl white tongue

I would have kept the bonnet like it is, but otherwise this is really impressive. I would make it slightly softer, but I totally understand why you love it so much. Congratulations!

That looks fantastic, maybe some revisions to the spoiler needed but easily the most up to date coupe I have ever seen.

Whoa u guys are too kind on the compliments... yeah, lotsa work has been done to the cosmetics...

Truffle and Jimbo, the kit as of now is a one off... But, if there are market and demand for it, i might make a mould of the kits...

Yeah, i do agree the rear spoiler mighttt be off, but, i gotta live with it now haha... maybe I'll do a revision later...
