Looks stunning with the subtle mods.

Have you thought about the mid section at the front, the lower bar accross the bumper under the grills. If you did this in black t would match the front and complement the black grills IMO - I like :thumbsup:

Wheels look stunning with the colour combination too, well done :driving:

Black grills underway & the front underbar will be going black at some point , most likely when i switch to darker wheels .

Body-colour diffusers seem quite rare. This is one of the few ...

I really like these tweaks. What's the condition of your brake callipers as the ones on my 35is have gone to look ropey. If yours aren't looking great do you have any plans to "refinish" them. Also, are you considering debadging the front wings as well. :thumbsup:

No plans to debadge the wings at all :? no "///M" badges so quite happy & already had 3 people in 3 weeks think its a 3.5 litre :oops: :D

Discs & pads all new & calipers also been freshened up with a clean + paint so all looking well in that department :thumbsup:
