Yea I saw the kit you have...

Two things I didn't like about it...

1. the front bumper fins
2. the hood looks too busy perhaps the wiper vents need to be coded to the car or something but it looked ricey.

I see its a 1/1 so I guess it wasn't an option for me but the kits coming out of Poland require far too much bodywork to get the lines right. Anyone planning to do a kit make sure to allocate a month worth of fiberglass work to get it ready for paint. Weigh this factor against a Prior kit that sells for $14K and you can do your own math. If you have fiberglass bodywork experience than its a no brainer (no Bondo) You'll save a ton of money. IF YOU NEED TO FARM IT OUT, MAKE SURE YOU GET A QUOTE BASED ON PREP AND PAINT AND NOT MAN HOURS.

Without a doubt, I would also have the same shop that preps the car to paint it and get a quote for the entire job with a penalty for passing a due date or you will undoubtedly get yourself into a crossfire with both parties pointing fingers at the other for a job you're not happy with.

Listen carefully to my advice, I only wish someone had given it to me.

Are you considering a new set of wheels in the future at all? I hate to see someone running spacers on a wide body car when there are so many cool things you can do with a custom set of forged wheels...

These are the wheels I ended up with

They have the look of the Black Series wheels MB would have done had they done a CL63 Black. Thought about 21', which would have been MB's choice, but actually these 22's are perfect considering the extra flaring and width of the car. Proportionally they seem to work very well as well as the ease of finding tires at a good price.

Wanted to have my wheels look like what MB would have done oem and not 3 piece custom. I'd say these nailed it other than size, which I'm happy with.

Sent all my wood trim out to OCarbon to get wrapped today!

Decided to go with a Carbon Kevlar (yellow, black, silver) weave. This is a very rare fabric only offered by one company. The rep @ OCarbon sent me this picture of this fabric used on an Audi and I was sold. I wanted anyone that entered my car to know that this wasn't a wrap and this material says hand laid all the way, no second guessing about it. It also helped greatly in the decision making that the introduction of a little yellow was perfect for theming the car with the yellow calipers.

Again the car will be Audi battleship Nardo gray with the yellow accents. All chrome will be coded to the car other than carbon fiber (tail, mirrors, diffuser, splitter.)

We are wrapping up the last bodywork details (gaps and fitment lines) and should be ready for the paint booth by Monday.

Seeing the finish line....

Looking again at your kit it is quite nice. Love the pearl white and roof treatment. Are you still driving her?

Again, the color chosen was Aston Martin "China Gray". It is a solid battleship gray with violet undertones. All trimming will be done in semigloss black. Secondary color is Ferrari Fly yellow (Calipers and certain accents.)
