Those wheels look stunning mate, really suit it. Whose laguna did you nick the splitter off then? I was rather wondering what to do with the spare one I have...

Adam - it's fair to say that's the best looking 300 out there. You finished yet?

Adam, looks amazing, we all know how much time and work has gone into that car! Not being scared to do something different pays off.

White wheels do normaly look good especialy on a black car.

I'm sure Adam is not finished yet - there will be more to come I am sure.

Oh btw how is sourcing the clear lenses going?

I didn't realise the rubber was that wide...yet it looks spot-on. Game over...I'm sold! I love the stance. I can't believe I didn't think of just using wider rims with the correct offset to fit wider rubber and fill the arches...how much of a n00b am I?!

I thought the front lip was different when I saw the car at Gaydon, but didn't say anything as I guessed I was wrong...!

cheers
