WoWee Tuxman, the car looks epic in that color, also think it looks good without a wing getmecoat

Would love to do a photoshoot of it in some nice sunshine but alas i'm too far away.

Very impressive finish with the wrap Simon. I'm having bad thoughts now!

One small niggle, why not get the M460 in the same typeface/font as the Noble badges, would make it look better IMHO of coursesmile

Simon, would the black inner not overcome your problem with the lens covers ?

front led indicators , have fitted them through from the back so they are removable so when the clear lenses are fitted i don,t get any issues .

used some special moddling scissors that i used to cut model car bodies out with , just trimmed them back until they fitted well ,took some time !!!
