Looking great Jake! I'm breaking open the headlights in the next week or two to go black and that would great on yours now! (I bet you can do it with a great deal less stress than me!).

Personally I'm not feeling the white wheels on a white car. I was trying to place why and I think maybe its cause the Grids main appeal is their concave deep look which, when you look at a load via google images only seems to come off with a metalic finish maybe? My two penneth there but i'm sure you'll find the right balance!

Keep it up!

The wheels will be going my custom mix again, antercite with xirrilic pearl

Tips cap at the rate of the mods and transformation of a sped D .A problem child that never going to be a collector’s item, made a silk purse out of a pigs ear. Only fly in the ointment is that you should have masked the slats on the scoop.

No no no, the correct way is to paint it fully then black on top of the fresh paint. Then you have no edge for it to pull away when masking ESP with fresh paint.

Jake, drop me a pm if you prefer, but what kind of price for a similar job on my own car on the assumption it's a newage motor, ie prep and paint the whole car/panels?
