Thanks Leon Thanks Steve, I should mention there's no BMF on it. Window surrounds are molotow pen (But looks dull to me, think it's getting old ! ) and nearly everything else comes moulded in chrome, there's loads of it to attach ! |

That turned out fantastic. Great concept, and you executed it very well. The R8 plates and Audi decals are a real neat touch.
