What part of VA? I grew up in the Shenandoah Valley
Protip for car photography: Always turn the wheel so that the wheel itself is shown off instead of the tread of the tire
Thanks for the tip. Not much of a photographer
We hit up a few cider tastings in the area. Charlottesville, Lynchburg Shenandoah etc. Photos were taken at Castle Hill Cidery in Keswick VA.
To my eye, white mirror caps are too prominent, emphasizing an uninteresting part of the car. Best are black caps or dark checked ones followed by the dark body colors. All white caps should be replaced. There are numerous examples in this thread of otherwise thoughtful and tasteful color choices ruined by white mirrors. Even white tops and stripes don't help. As I said, that's to my eye.
looks nice. so is the only difference the fact that the chrome piece already comes pre-painted and the JCW Grill Badge? or is the grill itself different?
Took off yesterday on a road-trip from NYC to Jacksonville, FL. between the wife, the baby, 2 suitcases, the stroller, the high chair, bassinet, work bag, and diaper bag, a cargo box was necessary. left @ 9AM..got to Jacksonville 3AM this morning. i'm beat, but had to take a quick shot before we hit the road.

Front grill, side scuttles, brake ducts, head light & rear light surrounds, rear bumper trim were done with Oracal glossy black vinyl. Much cheaper than buying OEM parts and completely reversible to stock.
Door handles and gas tank cap covered with Aliexpress covers (good quality and fitment).
Had the car detailed in Long Island, NY. dropped it off on wednesday and picked it up today around noon. total of about 20 hours of work done.
Interior: Meticulous vacuum, Cleaning, UV Protection on Dash, Seats, Doors, everything, etc..
Exterior: Wash, Claybar, 2-step paint correction, XPel Ultimate on Bumper, Partial Hood, Carbon Lip, Headlights, Door Cups, and 4 spots on roof where roof-rack sits.
Note: The Clear bra on the bumper is very annoying. 8 separate pieces.
The car looks great and feels very smooth. much better than even when i picked it up from the dealer.
