Love it! I think black and white contrast looks awesome. Are you going to do all the chrome too?

Looks good. Did mine awhile ago and (before my hoodscoop flew off while I was driving) it got really faded because it got so hot all the time. Be prepared to redo it frequently!

Did mine as well, and I plan on doing the headlight rings to match.

I love it most because of the counterbalance of a matte finish against the gloss...

I PDed the scoop on my DS R56 and likes the look. Being right over the turbo it cures really nice and makes it a bit harder to removed when the time comes...Just a head's up.
