They pretty much all speak good English.

I bought the Steinmetz front valance last week (in the spray shop today)

I'm probably going to pick up the side skirts and wheel spacers in the next week or so.

I'm trying to keep the modifications very subtle, and slight. I didn't fancy the full on Irmscher kit as I think, whilst nice, it is a little too much for my taste. One of the other reasons is that the standard bumbers have a line/groove that continues the line from the mouldings from the side of the car; the Irmscher one's lose that and are a little too smooth and don't have the continuity.

For that reason I'm adding to the standard bumpers rather than the full swap.

The Steinmetz additions I have are like this at the front:

It's lovely and clean. Have you polished it with a proper cable polisher?

I intend to give mine a proper polish soon. I decided to go for the Steinmetz grille as I prefer not to have the chrome surround on the front

It looks great on your black car, but Mine's petrol blue and I like that colour better de-chromed.
