Nothing I can do really. I spent an hour trying to fit it but it's just the wrong shape slightly.
I'm going to try again but this time with some heat. Hot enough to make the plastic bendy.
When I fitted them in December temps were 6-7 degrees.

Liberty Walk Goodness.
So Liberty Walk do 2 version of the LBnation kit. Version 1 and version 2. Bother are the same bumpers, side skirts and spoilers but one version adds wide are extensions. Wide arches mean it will no longer be a Kei car and thus you loose the yellow plates if you live in Japan.
ALso wide arhces mean the wing metal and bumpers will need cutting up and the inner arch liners will no longer fit meaning you would be suseptable to the UK salty roads. Not really something i wanted to deal with so i went with the narrow version. Plus i havnt gone with the liberty walk wheels. Ill explain later why not.
Liberty walk kit makes the S660 look like a mini NSX.
This link shows some differences from various LB tuners.

First things first, my S660 didnt arrive for me to test fit or colour match so i just went with it and risked it. At £4500 posted it blooody better fit well.
So task one is to cut and heat mould the grills into place so i can fit them once the bumper is painted. No way to secure these so ill hot glue and pu adhesive them into place.
Next step. Sand back all the parts, degrease and then setup the marquee in the back garden ready for 2k primer.
Once cured and sanded back its ready for the 2 stage pearl white star white pearl.
Once painted pearl white and lacquer and cured for a week. I p1000 eveything, degreased and maked all white areas ready for the gloss black sections. This is harder that it looks.
Base black painted then unmaked and lacqered the whole bumper again. this means the white sections have a nice glossy flow coat of lacquer over lacquer.

Then finally mask up again for the matt black middle section.

Spoon stripe.
Arma Sports/Pipercross induction kit specifically for the S660.
This mod is crazy. Since the intake is directly behind you head and in your right ear changing to this intake mean you can now hear everything the turbo is doing, blow off valve is so loud and suction noise dominated eveything. Its actually annoying so ill whip out the mass loaded vinyl to soft the noise later. It feels more eager with it.
The fog light. No really fog light bright but it passed an MOT.
Up to this point it was ready for Mimms december 2018 and the pictures of it are on the first page.

No millionaire.
However I love car parts, pay myself well. The liberty walk kit I bought through the business as I can claim vat back, use against tax and obviously I can paint it myself.
I have only ever bought a 2nd hand car at around £1500-3k. I wanted something different and a loan is cheaper than finance hence loan to pay for this.
Look at this way. My prelude and all of its modification and the s660 and it's modifications put together still cost less than what my dad paid for a standard range Rover evoque.
Wait........it's still cheaper than what I paid and spent on modifying my work van.

Excellent mods as always.
