Type S but making it look like a beefy R

Mercifull · 27th October 2007, 16:42

Right i've got a 2007 Type S as shown in the image above. However i'd like it to look a bit more beefy by putting on a couple of R bits and pieces.

I was hoping some people here would be able to give me guild lines on how much the bits will cost and where I can source them from etc

Front fog lights + protective covers (heard a lot of stories form ppl with cracked ones)
Colour coded trim and skirts (is this what's called the Image pack in the dealer extras booklet)
Type R spoiler (is this different from the coloured boot spoiler that's in the Type S price list from the dealer?)
Tints for the rear windows
Type R front grill

And here is jl133's beautiful car which I want mine to look like.

The colour coding looks great, need better wheels to finnish off the look

It won't be a cheap conversion. Best contacting someone like Holdcroft, maybe they can do a discount for large purchases.

Heya,

Good choice in car by the way!

I've had a look around for a few of these mods myself.
The colour coding and re-spray of the exterior trim can be done for about £300-500, shop around some local garages.
Try ebay if you want to save money on the front Grill - but they seem to be selling REALLY quickly! People like us are snapping them up!
As for the Type-R spoiler - I've been told the Type-R window is a slightly different shape... and that fitting the Type-R spolier causes the base of it to rub on the bodywork of the car and damage the paintwork... might be worth looking into...
