R52 Nice Blue
I'm about as big of a "carbon-fiber *****" as you're going to find, but I *really* don't like that CF A-panel. The shape of the panel is all wrong for having it stand out in stark contrast to the surrounding paint.
I don't really mind the bodykit too much, and of course, I like the colour!

OMG - I can't believe Rally and I agree on something. 
Just kidding - we agree on a lot.
Though I'm seriously intrigued by the dual fogs... what's the story with THOSE? Part of that body kit, or ???

Definitely seems to be a confused theme.
I think you have to choose between black-out, chrome bling, carbon fiber, or more white trim. Picking all of these design elements is way too busy and confusing.

I liked the front bumper at first glance too - though when I look at the shot on the dyno, you get a better view of the grille area (with little side webs across it) and the slightly over-the-top (IMHO) lips on the bottom... I think those kill it for me... without those, it would just be a little more aggressive than OEM... with dual fogs... which would rocketh...
But, yeah, the rear bumper looks like something the Borg would make.

I mean, the front bumper REALLY does have kind of a "bloodmagic" look to it with the webs and the lights and lips and all - and I think it would work in PH with black grilles...
Only part I like are the side skirts, front/rear are way to much!
The side panels must have been $$$, seeing as minimania sells non CF ones for $$$.:impatient
I do like the look under the Bonnet though, nicely colored in blue along with the radiators..
Edit:The rear pic seems to be older, looked at the top pics and they are painted to match
"Match painting all the fenders might make the kit blend better to the rest of the car, just a thought.."
Personally I'm a fan of this rear bumper, a simpler more aggressive look..

The skirts look a lot like the orciari's if you want a set without having to import the parts
It was a cool idea....but just doesnt work if you don't color match. Same is true for the brake calipers.

Here's the site for the Duell kit (thanks, Rally) - I have no idea if you can even order these in the US though, and I can't assess BabelFish from where I'm at right now, so I can't read any details. It appears as if they have separate pricing for each part though, so if the shipping isn't murderous (which it likely would be) then you might be able to get just the parts you need....
