Not too much going on here in regards to customizing, so I'll contribute my endless little alterations to my Galants :)

These last few months I've been busy with all bits of bodywork for both Galoons, e.g. the custom grilles I made from both facelift and pre-facelift grilles, but I also had something else that I hardly couldn't wait to start working on.

Custom FL grille and customized PFL bumper (smoothed out the tow hook cover, widened the number plate recess, cut away the lips at the under/sides and cut away part of the top lip to get the FL grille to fit properly).

What I've done to the fenders:
I made a set of custom side wings that have pre-formed vents in them. To be honest, the original idea wasn't mine (Adam & Annti from ClubVR4), as there are a few already who have used the Ford S-Max fender vents, but I'm pretty sure I'm the first who really embedded/blended them completely in the fenders

All that is left to do now is paint and fit the awaiting set of original fender flares and then it'll look even better.

Thanks guys! Much appreciated.

I'm no pro at this stuff, merely a trying and getting experienced amateur who keeps at it until is good and done :)
I do have to say that all these customizations take a tremendous amount of time as anyone willing to try or has tried will know. The rewards of doing it yourself (imagening, fabricating/bodywork, painting) are certainly there too :)
