Massive thanks to @vt3c runn3r for all of his help today. +rep!
Massive help fitting the front lip (the right way up!)
Got my new brake disks and pads fitted after the caliper had seized up both sides had to buy a clamp to get it back in to fit the pads.
Cars looking much better after I fitted the wing off @crunchyadams82

Need to take a finished picture of the lip, still need to paint it body colour. Might keep it black? Unsure what to do.

Yeah I took it out for a drive for half an hour. The brake pedal is a bit low but the pads are bedding in nicely. :D
