I thought so!! Think I will go with those wings then, may get the boot aswell. I certainly wont be painting them, if lead looked as good as carbon I would fit that aswell so its not a weight issue!

Lol, i like carbon but not to that extent where id have it all bare. Only the Zonda F and similar cars can pull it off IMO.

But as said, an impressive amount of work by ABW as usual.

Well done.
