Some super rare accesories on both the 300's, and they look awesome, I'm also loving the graphics. Welcome to the forums, those are great looking cars!

Hi and welcome to the forum.

Thats a nice pair of 300's. I like the rear louvers :D I was looking for some a while ago but have not found any but changed direction for the look of the car.

How much work is needed to fit the rust?

Ah the wheel arch as rusted. Normaly the rust is lower down on the wheel arch. You can buy repair pannels for that.
