Tom's ST-II ?, ST bumper + GT Four hood + Tom's lip + more HP's? Options

[Urputus]

I was thinking about some modifications of the exterior of my facelifted ST since PECM 2007, which was a great inspiration to me. First I wanted to add a Tom's lip, but it wasn't easy to get one to Czech republic, …an original one. Then I saw the making of Malpaso’s SS-Four and realized that just Tom’s lip would not be enough for me . So I asked Malpaso to help me finding a solution, where I can use the parts I already have and create something unique.

The final idea was presented in this topic for the first time. Just to recall what's going to happen to the car:
- the ST/GT bumper will stay untouched;
- shave the gap in front of the GT-Four hood to fit ST/GT bumper;
- use OEM JDM-dealers option front lip (well known as TOM'S lip);
- use OEM Euro-dealers option rear lip;
- use OEM side skirts;
- and may be change of paint color.

I was wandering how to name this project. Martin used the name GT-II, but I'm afraid that this name was already used by some guy in Croatia? As I don't know this for sure, let's make it Tom's GT-II (without the smile of course )

In the first phase of the project most of the interior parts were dismantled before we went to bodyman. Only the dashboard, steering wheel and front seats were left in the car. Here are some pictures from the projects “first hour”:








In the second phase the hood will be modified to fit the ST/GT front bumper and there is some necessary work on other parts of the car – to prevent rust, repair some dents etc. This will happen within next two weeks. I hope I get some pictures from the bodyman so we don't have to wait two weeks for the progress .

I understand that the previous set of pictures might cause an impression, that this is going to be the final color of my celi The truth is, that I was confused in the first moment. And I started checking whether I ordered the color correctly. But I was assured that everything is OK and I'm only paranoid

Now I have some pictures of the last stage of painting, i.e. from the stage where the last thin layer of dark red color and the final clear coat were applied. I'm very excited how it looks. I was told that in garage or when it's dark outside, the color looks mate. But when it's sunny outside, the color is amazing

The only problem is, that I still don't have it home. There are still a few parts that weren't fitted on the car yet. I also don't know the result of the hood modification, so I'm still a bit nervous from the final result. I may know it in the middle of the next week, as the car should be ready for collection.

But enough of writing, here are all the pictures I received from this last stage of painting. As I wrote before, some parts were not fitted yet, so it's mostly about the color. I hope you like it too









On some pictures you may see the orange-gold reflection of sun. How I love it!

What do you think about it so far?
