Looking good so far!

Loving the update as you go along from the to do list

Gloss black front grille edging + Citroen chevron
Wrap or plasti dip?

Take the black grille shape down front bumper, Mitsubishi Evo X style
Love this Won't work on mine though :'( I was going to do it on my fisrt DS3 but didn't get that far before getting my newer one

Headlight eyelids, white
How are tiy doing this? I wrapped the top of mine with vinyl, very cost effective and looks smart

Wind deflectors
Heko or Citroen?

Custom front splitter, either red or black (suggestions welcomed)
The TRC one comes in black, I'm wrapping mine red when I get it. The Seat Leon fits, but not as direct as the TRC one

Custom side skirts, either white, red, or black depending on front splitter
Body colour can trick the eye slightly and make the car look lower than it is

DS03 personalised reg plate?
I'm Still looking for DS03 WTF, so if you spot it on your search, let me know!

Grille - Planning to respray. I have a Citroen approved bodyshop near me with pretty good rates. Hoping once I go for this one then I can show them my plans and get a return customer discount for all the rest of it!

Eyelids - Found some on Amazon, about £35, made of ABS. Need spraying though as they come unfinished. Vinyl might be a better option though, as it won't be so thick. I've got time to think about it though, as insurance renewal is next month so bye bye money!

Wind deflectors - Not put much thought into this, hope to meet the club at Wings&Wheels so I can have a look at what's out there.

Splitter - I'm not really a fan of the TRC, a bit too subtle. I prefer the RDX Vario-X: https://www.amazon.co.uk/RDX-RDFAVX3...34-1-0&sr=1-34

Side skirts - Definitely agree with you there!

DS03 plate - As far as I'm aware, DVLA only goes up to DS03 H--. Sucks because I wanted LRA (nicknamed my car Lara, from Tomb Raider of course :redface: ) Apparently others might go on auction from time to time but I doubt anything from J-- onwards will be released :mad:

Also, DS03 EVO is taken :'(

You will get plenty of ideas at W&W, I certainly did at my first meet there last year!

[JEZDS3]

I believe the white headlamp eyebrows were made by CSR if you are after ready made white ones....on Amazon/eBay etc.

[WTF]

Also, DS03 EVO is taken :'(

We know where it is!

That's the ones Jez, I wasn't sure if they came as white or just a plastic-y grey

The vinyl eyebrows have caught on in the last year and seem to be getting more popular.

[WTF]

I've been rocking them since 2011
