Very very nice work Jared. Any plans to import the semi slick A032Rs from the UK? They'd suit these wheels perfectly.

I'd love one. Wonder what it would be like on the 998.

Agreed. I see there's a guy who might offer a conversion kit for the 1.2 FIAT twincam head. Unfortunately, he's in the UK.
I was adding some receipts into the file and realised it's getting quite full. No, it's not to brag, it's just me being pedantic about this car.

I also turned this :

Into this :

Thoughts on the gloss black?

Can't wait to get some tyres on :

Thanks Smile I was going to go with satin, but I think the gloss looks good and will be harder wearing.

Sand the handle down and add more coats. You can end up with a mirror black finish. Would look very cool
