I've seen the paint in the flesh and it looks far better than the pics show, plus it'll look even better in bright sunlight.

Thanks Mark.
I was walking past the car on the lift tonight with over head lights blooming and caught a glimpse of what the colour will be doing as you walk around it ie changing colour.
Look at the difference from door shut to q panel!
I love it!

Right it was D-day for my custom FMIC/RADIATOR combo to land and as it got unwrapped my first thought was OMFG lol,this thing is a proper work of art and the fit when mounted into the engine bay is absolutely smack on,it even has the drain plug made of titanium which is then lock wired onto a little tag which has been welded on,I really couldn't believe it and certainly couldn't have asked for more and for Ross to be jealous of how it looks with what lurks under his hood says it all really.

Matt once more you are a super star dude and I can't thank you enough,your services will most certainly be in use again during the project:ncool:

Intercooler/Rad combo looks awesome!

Dare I ask how much?

Also, colour looks a lot better with a bit of light shining on it.

Thanks Micky,yeah the colour comes alive when it gets some daylight/sunlight on it.
The combo wasn't cheap as I'm sure you can imagine,it was ££££ but I it!

Very nice indeed Ryan, I'm not envious in the slightest.
