I have been debating whether to do this for a while now!
I thought I would share it with you and see what you think. I also had the bottom part of the wing mirrors done too, you can't see them in the picture but it does look good in the flesh.
After installing the Hamann Carbon Fibre Spliter and Carbon Fibre Grills I thought it would bring the car together. I have some CF s side grills on order too.

Thanks, Graham

Like the concept but I don't think it looks good on silver, at least in these examples

Yes its a vinyl wrap. Not everyones taste but its easy removed if I decide I want it off.
My car is Silverstone II and in the flesh it looks cool IMO.

Thanks, Graham
