RL Build

I’ve been fairly quiet since I’ve just been enjoying the car. I’ve moved up North for college and have decided to sell the RL. There’s nothing wrong with it I’m just bored of it. Read more...

The fog lights were a little too squarish for my taste so I made some custom overlays to give them a slight “curve”. The grill is also the custom debadged one I made a couple months back. Read more...
