Received the headlights couple of weeks ago 

mounted them 

and last Friday I worked on the car around the clock  12 hours in a row together with a friend.

Made a huge progress. Rear is fully R-design facelifted. Sideskirts are the facelifted color-coded ones.

Just need to smooth the frontbumper and paint it. coming along nicely 

Some work in progress pictures during that friday

before 

removed the bumper and started doing the taillights

Polishing the color-coded facelift skirts

front wich needs some work 

Facelifted R-design rear  still need to buy the protection thing on top of the bumper.

Plastic-welding the frontbumper and smoothing it. 

I need the facelift rearbumper brackets under the taillights to support the rearbumper 

Also the sticking out is cause I didn't tighten the screws holding the taillights 

PS: I found out what causes the headlights to stick out a few mm 

the facelift uses a plastic form under the headlights to form the bumper smoothly across the headlight. The pre-facelift doesn't have this plastic.

I ductaped a sponge on the inside of the bumper to see how that works and it works like a charm  the sponge acts like a spacer between the bumper and the frame. so I will place a thick piece of rubber instead of the sponge so it will look good
