That coupe rear just looks the mutts mate. You are right, the profiled "blinds/slats" just makes the whole thing look superb. Was it a bitch to fit, can you post some piccies of the inside of the coupe lid and where it "connects" please?

 

Many thanks

Thanks.

The body shop who painted it fitted it said it was by all accounts a pain in the arse. It’s not sitting flush yet, but at the price they did the work for I couldn’t let them twat on with it any more so I’m gonna get some help to make it fit better.

Fitting instructions were sent. It retains the locking mechanism which is great but the hole needed enlarging to make it line up.

Also I wish I’d got the slats painted matt black with hindsight. The gloss was to match the gloss V and mesh but it’s too much. Looking into getting them carbon dipped / wrapped to match the other carbon goodies

Is it the Racing Emotion one ?
These visible fasteners are a pity...

Yes Racing Emotion. You mean the fasteners holding the slats in place? I don’t actually mind them

Yes the fasteners holding the slats.
How much is the kit?
I cannot see any prices on their website...

You could use matt black bolts that would be less conspicuous.  I like the kit and the look and would probably have gone for the Matt Black too.

The best would be some countersunk fasteners if there is enough thickness in the slats...
