Thanks again for your feedback & advice with choosing the colours/materials etc.

Looks great !
...yep, it's pretty tight nowadays in Belgium regarding speeding..they're much stricter now - tickets are even more expensive than Holland, didn't expect that. However, the goverment did manage to curb speeding induced accidents substantially while pocketing some extra cash. First time I've seen a win win goverment policy..wow
