Nothing I can do really. I spent an hour trying to fit it but it's just the wrong shape slightly.
I'm going to try again but this time with some heat. Hot enough to make the plastic bendy.
When I fitted them in December temps were 6-7 degrees.

Liberty Walk Goodness.

So Liberty Walk do 2 version of the LBnation kit. Version 1 and version 2. Bother are the same bumpers, side skirts and spoilers but one version adds wide are extensions. Wide arches mean it will no longer be a Kei car and thus you loose the yellow plates if you live in Japan.
ALso wide arhces mean the wing metal and bumpers will need cutting up and the inner arch liners will no longer fit meaning you would be suseptable to the UK salty roads. Not really something i wanted to deal with so i went with the narrow version. Plus i havnt gone with the liberty walk wheels. Ill explain later why not.
Liberty walk kit makes the S660 look like a mini NSX.

This link shows some differences from various LB tuners.

First things first, my S660 didnt arrive for me to test fit or colour match so i just went with it and risked it. At £4500 posted it blooody better fit well.

So task one is to cut and heat mould the grills into place so i can fit them once the bumper is painted. No way to secure these so ill hot glue and pu adhesive them into place.

Next step. Sand back all the parts, degrease and then setup the marquee in the back garden ready for 2k primer.

Once cured and sanded back its ready for the 2 stage pearl white star white pearl.

Once painted pearl white and lacquer and cured for a week. I p1000 eveything, degreased and maked all white areas ready for the gloss black sections. This is harder that it looks.

Base black painted then unmaked and lacqered the whole bumper again. this means the white sections have a nice glossy flow coat of lacquer over lacquer.

Then finally mask up again for the matt black middle section.

Onto fitting and undeasealing and lowering further at the same time.
Torque GT did a dinitrol underseal over all exposed areas. Im doing a full Bilt Hamber dynax UB under all arch trims and behind bumpers. Ill be using this throughout winter. No being a bitch and taking it off road for winter.

Ill let the pics do the talking and see some exposed s660 sexyness.

Rear fog light made by a chap in japan and shipped to me and i wired these into Torque GTs fog light. I also painted the exhaust head shield black and bent it out of the way as you will see it peeking through the LB rear bumper.

LB rear bumper fitted.

Colour match is good but far from perfect. Never mind.

Rear spoiler was tricky. I measured up and i had to make screws up and PU adhesive into place.

Side skirts were difficult No pictures but the passener skirt didnt fit and actually cracked when pressed into place. Its minor so ill leave it.

Onto the half body car cover. A button screw replaces one tab in the rear arch.

Spoon stripe.

Arma Sports/Pipercross induction kit specifically for the S660.

This mod is crazy. Since the intake is directly behind you head and in your right ear changing to this intake mean you can now hear everything the turbo is doing, blow off valve is so loud and suction noise dominated eveything. Its actually annoying so ill whip out the mass loaded vinyl to soft the noise later. It feels more eager with it.

The fog light. No really fog light bright but it passed an MOT.

Up to this point it was ready for Mimms december 2018 and the pictures of it are on the first page.

So i broke the side markers cleaning at Mimms so i replaced with FD2 side markers.

S660 left. FD2 right.

Now the LB rear bumper is on the Blitz exhaust is hidden. So i got these to fit over the current exhaust tips and extend out. I JD welded these into place.

Now its winter the AD08R are stepping out on me. The back end does wiggle so i put winter tyres on it. Hankook Le Cept W452 155/60/15 front 195/45/16 rear. Very stodgy handling and alot of tread movment in corners but it doesnt slide out and because the tyres are soft for cold conditions its comfortable.
At the same time i fitted 20mm DIrenza spacers all around to give the Work CR Kiwami more presence.

Pre front camber adjustment.

Next up smaller front number plate. Ill update at a later date.

Lo

Fantastic modifications

I have been wondering if You are a secret millionaire or something

These parts must be costing a fortune

Cheers

Toadster.
P.S
You should post a before and after pic

No millionaire.
However I love car parts, pay myself well. The liberty walk kit I bought through the business as I can claim vat back, use against tax and obviously I can paint it myself.
I have only ever bought a 2nd hand car at around £1500-3k. I wanted something different and a loan is cheaper than finance hence loan to pay for this.

Look at this way. My prelude and all of its modification and the s660 and it's modifications put together still cost less than what my dad paid for a standard range Rover evoque.

Wait........it's still cheaper than what I paid and spent on modifying my work van.

Excellent mods as always.

We need more photos when I come down to collect the exhaust.
