Mike the PE looks awesome. I didn't really like the PE wheels when the first pictures of them came out, but after the subtle drop and possibly due to the car colour I think they really work. Just needs spacers now. :thumbs:

Thanks Marc, not sure I'd get any spacers on the front at all, maybe get some on the back though. I'm having my doors wrapped and the undersides of the door handles soon so I'll wait until that is done at least. I intended on changing the wheels so didn't bother with spacers but for the time being I quite like the original ones.

No, but I I did consider making a wooden rear shelf for the 18" Focal sub.

How well does the colour show through the protective film buddy?

I can't tell any difference between the wrapped and unwrapped parts Gaz. This maybe due to the dark colour though.
In fact, I'm going back to have my doors wrapped too.

Is that even in the sun when the crystalline effect shows purple?

Carbon mirrors. Standard headlights but they do look dark in that photo.

Word on the street is that we might have a sunny ☀ day tomorrow so I'll take a good look and try get a photo of the door against the wing for comparison but ive yet to notice any difference.
