Thanks mate. Fitment is 99% gap is completely closed up. Basically the spring on the central hood clasp pushes the middle of the hood up and being CF it flexes and you end up with the massive gap in the middle. With the spring removed the hood sits nice and flat. Ink is a genius lol

Awesome work, I had noticed that on Ink's hood initially when he had it installed it looked like his hood was popped open. I thought it was raised to allow for max cooling mode haha

$1300 for hood (ex Ink) and $600 for paint and fitting
Plus 5 mins to remove the spring on the center bonnet latch

More work on the two tone theme

Removed rear door cards, pulled them apart and combined the black and beige parts to create a two tone rear door cards

Used 8Gx12mm screws and 3/16" washers to attach the leather center panel

Also removed the foam lining from speakers and painted the outer speaker rim in space gray

As always link to DIY below

Good idea with painting the speaker trim space grey it's a nice touch

[DR-JEKL]

I've been meaning to do the DIY m3 style speaker grilles for years! Did you just pop the grille out remove the black mesh sponging than spray them?

Looks so much better mate!!

[Flex68]

Wow .... At first when you said your doing the 2 tone I was skeptical but now I see it I actually really like it

Yep that's it DrJ.. sponge is a pinta to remove as its partially glued to the mesh but with patience and a sanding block, you can get it all off
Looks better in person then in the photos
