Brain Cadena Carbon Fibre Spoiler in Malaysia

Ello people..just to let Rich, Craig and everyone know that the BC CF spoiler has arrived and after examining it, i'm a very happy camper! Only prob is I got whacked an extra RM570 in duties.. should have gotten craig to value the spoiler at USD20, so they would have charged me less..well, lesson learned!

Anyhoo..I did a dummy take on it today and took some photos..will probably put it in the shop next week to get it fixed, and probably do up the grille and touch on the paint.

It took a while, but it was very well worth it! now need to find a CF roof spoiler to go with it..

Luv the granite floor tiles Karlie

Looks good and matches your body paint nicely.......and great to see that spoiler go half way round the world and back, whilst appreciating value

That chrome trunk handle now looks a little out of place, but that's just MHO. BTW, an exhaust is definitely in order with that spoiler now

pretty worned out granite i might add..need to give it a good wash and throw in some sealant and gloss..:P

Thanks for the approval..it does matches my colour just nice..i might still be a bit huffed about the total amount of $$ i paid, but all in all, i'm happy with the result.

yeah, i need to readjust the chrome a bit..the screws at the bottom gotten a bit loose now.

As mentioned in the SMS, i was stuck in Bangsar till 930pm..my mech came over, helped jump started the car..manage to drive home. This morning woke up, and the car failed to start again..jumped started it and its now at the shop..since its close to service time, i might as well get it done and change the battery to a maintenance free one...and also get the spoiler fixed up..

am working hard in getting an exhaust put on for sure now dude..

ahhaa..indeed steve..indeed....turned out better then i expected...as mentioned above, am trying hard to get some pipes put on..hopefully sebrings or even the braboos if i can find it..

I'll definitely cut the kit and slot the pipes in between for a more OE look...

I love my chrome handle too..

btw, i think a rematch is in order..lol

Sporting the new curves, reminiscent of the Braboos (RIP)

RM570...O U C H, sounds like a GRIP

Quite honestly Karlson I enjoy watching your car progress...keep up the outstanding job!!!

FYI: the BC roof spoiler has found a new owner in Taiwan, but if he ever decides to sell...you'll be the first to know

alex, had a chat with whitey and i misunderstood his comment..after reading your post helps also..lol..i was thinking of painting all the chrome to match the car, plus the badges..but thinking about it still. But i still like the chrome handle..gives it a bit of character compared to before..we'll see how it goes..

Btw, whens your unveiling going to be? can't wait for it..all the anticipation!

you said it Rich.. now all i'm missing are BBKs, Phat exhausts, rear deck spoiler ( which i hope the taiwan guy will let it go one day or another) and a kompressor to make the car go faster! lol

Thanks for the compliments..i had fun watching your car get done up too..and it got done up very nicely..will be hard to find someone to match it!

But hey, I'm sure the C6 is a bigger chick magnet nowadays no? lol..
