Quite an amazing job, not sure about it being the answer for a question nobody asked but the workmanship as to whats visible is quite impressive, can't imagine the hours. Salut.

I saw the 'valve' mispelling, but actually thought that the specs for the wheels were wrong - 17X7F 17X15R??? I thought he meant 17X7.5R. I know the angle doesn't help, but those rear wheels don't look like 15's to me.

Black makes the right car look very sinister.

Don't worry - I'm not offended. Mine's the PW/B.

I think there's 3 things: JCW aero kit, Midnight black powder coated Challenge wheels and those driving lights. The "pop" of the lights against the black is awesome. When he's in my rear view, that car is just scary.

Here's another shot I got that day - he's even tinted the parking lights on the wheel arches.

Painted. Bake apart headlights, dismantle and paint. There is a tricky clip in there so don't force it.

You need to use high temperature paint also, plastidip or any normal paint won't work if you have your head lights on for more than a minute
