There is nothing as nice looking as a black Bugeye with the JDM headlamps fitted, they really set the car off nicely.

I used to have a black S202 and it was absolutely stunning when clean and it had just been polished, but it was a right pig to keep clean.

I am not hijacking your thread but here is mine after it had been professionally detailed and the wheels refurbished.





I really love the look of your car with the XXR wheels.

It just shows the Bugeyes aren't the ugly ducklings that most believe them to be.
