Was down at Indigo today. I must say. Even without an engine, your car looks superb :)
One question though. Is the roof carbon or is it wrapped? Oh. One other question. How the hell do you see anything in those mirrors!!

Thanks for the compliment:)

The roof is proper carbon not wrapped.

The mirrors are still a learning curve as I've only driven to castle coombe and back. But yeah they will take some getting use to.

Love that intake and throttle body nick! Would love that on mine.

Is that a real carbon roof mate? Love the look of that roof.

Had the AMS inlet and tb on for a few years now but you can't really see it also got the AMS fuel rail:)
Yes it's real carbon from Rick at Carbon Goodies, proof is in the pudding:angel:

No roof.
