So that is the $50,000+ JCW Convertable you told me about at MOTD. Nice build Krut. Very choice!

WOW! Sweet rims, what make/type are they?

Here's my Belgian pride.. It's a Diesel though and pics are a little dated (license plate @ front is different, spoiler got busted @ carwash). Should go shoot some new ones soon..

It's been painted in DS. The rear lights too!
You can see a slight color-different, actually it's more of a metallic difference.. The lights & grill appear non-metallic, even though DS is a metallic paint.

Those are just cheap rota slipstreams, 18racing.com was my source. They look deep cause I have 225s on a 6.5" rim. The offset is stock.

And yeah the brakes can use all the 225 slicks, 120 (track) through 0 it can lock em.

I really only have that reaction around Konky's, Rally's, Tuls' and Tirex's car, so I'd say you're in good company

That looks wicked good at that height!!!

I might have to hit you up for a set of wheels, spacers, and bolts as winter approaches for a set of snows Dan.

Good view of the front with the JCW side scuttles! BTW, if you add these to your car, add some double-sided tape! These just slide off real easy and it will save you a $100.00!
