thanks people !

my headlights are the facelift OEM yes, and the front bumper you can get it on ebay.

this weekend I had the extra 9mm spacer fitted, it looks perfect now, I have to take pictures but Im also waiting for the center caps.

next step probably is paint the wheels in matte black and keep the contrast with the porsche center caps. it would be perfect if I had also a decent brake calipers..amg or porsche

Your pictures turned out awesome! If you don't mind me asking, what lens and software do you use?

She looks incredible. Especially w/ the Porsche wheels...they really stand out. Mad props!

On the exhaust - are those just tips or new exhaust altogether? Love the way that grille blends in with the color of the car as well. Plastidip?

thanks a lot! but I hate benfica lool, I'm fan of FC Porto, the rival haha (I live near from Porto)

About the tips, yes they're just tips and that's one of the things that I really dont like in my car..wish I have a new exhaust, maybe one day later not sure..

about wheels, well I like them all lol, but yes, ZW2 was a great set, I love to see the video that I've done with that wheels.. If I change again I will go for sure to some similar look but on 18", not 17" like the ZW2..

thank you all again, regards from Portugal!

What do you have on mind? I've been following your lead here... Eisenmann Sports perhaps? I think the oval AMG tips looks really good on your car, it contrasts the black color
