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.

Absolutely stunning a consideration for the next scoob...

Must say i do really like the clean lines....i'm assuming this was all glued in place to the existing door? and then excessive glue cut away?? Just curious
