Don't worry Scott. Chrome and black are a great combination, not that I'm in biased in the slightest way of course!

Looks lovely. See you at Stoneleigh?

Yes definitely replace! They broke into pieces when we tried to remove them before paint.

Your neighbour looks perplexed, have you swapped her fiesta for your Z300s or is see looking out for ships?

Not the neighbour, the long suffering MrsWCA asking herself "Now he has finished that, what next?"

The answer was the short nose bonnet

Bit of a problem with the number plates - when they're offered up against the car, it's so black they're looking grey against it!

Nice shade of black - looks like "LTI Black" that always has that deep reflective finish

We tried to get you a picture of the genuine Ferrari handles (which look stunning) but the glare from the body got in the way.

I know there is an old saying about paintwork you could shave in but you actually could on this one!

We trial fitted my spare wheel from the Kali just to check the ride height after we lowered it 30mm all round using Eibach springs. As you can see it sits perfectly.

It does fit nicely. What size wheel and tyre is that?

When you get a chance it would be helpful to see a photo of the front arch after lowering.
Thanks

By the way, that's a superb finish.
